New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday conducted a mega roadshow in Mysuru and winded up his whirlwind two-day campaign tour of Karnataka during which he addressed six public rallies. Amid the fanfare surrounding the roadshow, there was a brief scare when a mobile phone was thrown by a woman, said to be a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker, towards the prime minister who was standing in the vehicle. The incident took place when PM Modi was waving at people gathered on the road as the vehicle traversed the city.

The mobile phone landed on the bonnet of the vehicle after it was flung by the woman and this did not go unnoticed by the Prime Minister who indicated the object to the Special Protection Group (SPG) sleuths responsible for his security during public events.



On Saturday, PM Modi held public meetings at Humnabad in Bidar district, district headquarter town of Vijayapura, Kudachi in Belagavi district, and a roadshow in Bengaluru, followed by election rallies in Kolar city, Channapatna in Ramanagara district and Belur in Hassan district on Sunday.



The ruling BJP is pulling out all stops to retain power in the state which is seen as a gateway to the south for the saffron party. It is locked in a tussle with the opposition Congress and the JD(S).
