Modi's security beefed up after Chennai blasts

Chennai, May 2 (IBNS) The security of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was beefed up on Friday after his party claimed a possible threat to his life post the twin blasts in Chennai.

Pertinently, just a day before the blasts, Modi on Wednesday had addressed a rally at Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, about 140 km from Chennai. 

Earlier on Thursday, Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the Gujarat CM was provided adequate security.

"Adequate security has been provided to Modi, the state governments have been asked to provide full proof security. He has addressed 400 rallies across the country. No one can point a finger on security provided," he said.

This comes after a woman passenger was killed and 14 others were injured when two blasts occurred in an express train at the Chennai Central Railway Station on Thursday morning.

BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said threat perception was there and they had informed Shinde.

She said it happened close to Modi's campaign trail.

BJP expresses its note of caution at this moment, she said.
