Bad weather forces cancellation of Modi's Nashik rally

New Delhi, Oct 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed election rally at Nashik in Maharashtra was cancelled at the last minute on Sunday due to a severe storm in the area.

The BJP leader was expected to travel by air from Gondia, his third rally stop in Maharashtra, to Nashik but could not do so due to the inclement weather.

"The prime minister's scheduled election tour programme at Nashik this evening has been postponed due to a severe storm," BJP's Maharashtra affairs in-charge Rajiv Pratap Rudy told PTI.

The first three of the prime minister's Maharashtra rallies today were at Tasgaon in Sangli district, Kalamba in Kolhapur and in Gondia.

He was slated to address the Nashik rally at 8:35 P.M.
