 "Subramanian Swamy writes to PM, demands SPG protection for Modi")
New Delhi: A day after serial blasts rocked Narendra Modi’s rally venue in Patna, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today demanded SPG protection for the party’s prime ministerial candidate.
He has urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to amend the SPG act to extend its security cover to “principal candidates for the post of Prime Minister in the forthcoming elections in 2014.”

In a statement, he alleged that Bihar Government led by Nitish Kumar has wilfully disregarded taking normal precautionary pre-emptive security measures for Modi or covertly abetted the failure of security.
He claimed that Modi could face life-threatening attacks in Congress-ruled states as the party has taken strong exception to Modi addressing Rahul Gandhi as “shehzada”.
