The BJP has accused the Congress of engineering the security lapse along with the protesting farmers and the state police.
On Wednesday, while on way to address a political rally in Ferozepur, PM Modi was stuck on a flyover in Punjab's Bathinda for around 20 minutes. The security lapse has caused a major political conflagration between the BJP and the state's ruling Congress and the matter reached the Supreme Court.
