Paan pain
Some Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders were somewhat inconvenienced during their stay in Allahabad for the party's
two-day national executive meeting on June 12 and 13. They discovered that the city's paan (betel leaf) shops had decided not to sell the item during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stay in Allahabad. That, according to the association of paan shop owners, was their way of contributing to Modi's swachhata (cleanliness) campaign. However, the more resourceful of the BJP leaders found their poison by requesting supporters to get several of them packed from the outskirts of the city.
