<span style="color: #222222;">BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda today hit out at the Congress led Punjab government in connection with the security breach of Prime Minister during his visit in the state. In a series of tweets, Mr Nadda said that fearing a resounding defeat at the hands of the electorate, the Congress Government in Punjab tried all possible tricks to scuttle the Prime Minister's programmes in the state.&nbsp; He alleged that in doing so, &nbsp;they did not bother that Mr Modi was to pay tributes to Bhagat Singh and other martyrs, and lay the foundation stone for key development works.</span><br />'' <br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">&nbsp;He said, by their cheap antics, the Congress Government has shown that they are anti-development and have no respect for freedom fighters too. The BJP Chief said that it is extremely worrisome that this incident was also a big security lapse as far as the Prime Minister is concerned. He alleged that protestors were given access to the Prime Minister's route while the Punjab Chief Secretary and DGP gave assurances to SPG that the route is clear. He also said that to make matters worse, Punjab Chief Minister refused to get on the phone to either address the matter or solve it. He said, the tactics used by the Congress government in Punjab would pain any one who believes in democratic principles.<br />'' <br />''Mr Nadda alleged that the state police was instructed to prevent people from attending the rally as large number of buses were stranded because of the high-handedness of the police and connivance with protestors. The BJP President added that it is sad that Prime Minister's visit to launch development projects worth thousands of crores of rupees for Punjab was disrupted but we will not let such cheap mentality hinder progress of Punjab and will continue the effort for the development of &nbsp;the State.</span>
