Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aircraft suffered a technical snag at Deoghar in Jharkhand this afternoon. The aircraft will now have to remain at the airport until the technical fault is fixed and another plane is being sent to Deoghar from New Delhi, causing a delay in the PM’s return to the capital.
PM Modi addressed two rallies in Jharkhand today on the occasion of tribal icon Birsa Munda’s anniversary, which is celebrated as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, and ahead of the second round of polling for the Assembly elections in the state on November 20.
Barely 80 km away from Deoghar, in Jharkhand’s Godda, Rahul Gandhi’s helicopter remained grounded for 45 minutes awaiting clearance from the air traffic control, prompting the Congress to claim that the delay was deliberate to disrupt the campaign schedule of the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
