Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday evening briefly interrupted the speech of Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan in an election rally in Andhra Pradesh’s Palnadu district when a few people climbed on a tower erected for loudspeakers at the ground and urged them to come down.
“There are electric wires. What are you doing there? Your life is precious to us. Please come down. Media persons have taken your photographs. Now come down. Police personnel deployed here, please take care of people. It would be painful for us if something happened wrong,” PM Modi said.
Urging the people on the electric poles to come down, the prime minister, on a lighter note, said they could come down as the media had already caught their images.
Besides PM Modi, and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan, TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu also participated in the NDA rally ‘Prajagalam’.
‘Prajagalam’, which translates to ‘voice of the public’ was the first joint public meeting of NDA partners in Andhra in the past ten years.
