Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aircraft experienced a technical malfunction in Deoghar, Jharkhand, around noon today. The aircraft will remain at the local airport until the technical issue is resolved.
As a result, the Prime Minister’s return to New Delhi will be delayed. Modi had arrived in Jharkhand for campaigning ahead of the second phase of the state assembly elections scheduled for November 20.
Today, the Prime Minister addressed two rallies in Jharkhand in connection with the annual observance of tribal leader Birsa Munda. The Ministry of Home Affairs has assigned a senior team to investigate the cause of the malfunction.
