Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today expressed satisfaction at the Ranchi district administration's security arrangements made for the rally addressed by BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
"So far it is okay," Sinha said at the venue, Dhurwa, on the outskirts of the city.
A couple of weeks ago the BJP leaders in the state had expressed dissatisfaction at the district administration not allowing the party to hold the rally at Morahbadi ground as it was already booked for a fair.
The venue, where party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed the rally during the day, was near the locality where one suspect in the Patna bomb blast was arrested and the NIA had raided the place several times after the October 27 incident.
BJP leader and former Jharkhand Assembly Speaker C P Singh and other leaders had invited the family members of the blast suspect to attend the rally.
Meanwhile, traffic snarls were witnessed at several points in Ranchi following the huge turnout at the sprawling ground.
