A senior official from the Prime Minister's Office is said to have scolded the Varanasi district administration for what he called a "security lapse" during PM Narendra Modi's 'Jan Darshan' on his way to Kashi Vishwanath and Kal Bhairav temples on Saturday. There were allegations that the local police could not keep "outsiders" away from the cavalcade. During the roadshow, Modi accepted a bouquet of red roses and a "safa" thrown at him from the crowd. The PMO official reportedly questioned how the bouquet and the safa could get past the inner cordon through the Special Protection Group. Varanasi Commissioner Nitin Ramesh Gokaran said he was not aware of any lapse. Meanwhile, the district administration, in its report to the Election Commission, has said that the PM did not hold any roadshow by traveling to any temple.
