Former Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Wednesday claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was the 'target' of the Patna serial blasts.
"Not the crowd, Narendra Modi was the target of the blasts in Patna," Sushil Modi said.
Hitting out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for not visiting the victims of the Patna bomb blasts, the Bihar BJP leader said: "Nitish Kumar didn't even pay tribute to the people who died in the blasts in his speech. This shows his insensitivity."
He further informed the Gujarat Chief Minister will visit Patna on November 2 to meet the families of the six people who died in a series of bomb blasts last Sunday.
"Narendra Modi will meet Patna blast victims on November 2," said Sushil Modi.
Six people were killed and 83 injured in the blasts that rocked Patna between 9.30 a.m. and 12.45 p.m. on Sunday shortly before Modi's address to a 'Hunkar' rally' in Gandhi Maidan.
