Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A letter received at the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) threatening a suicide attack targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his two-day visit to the state beginning on 24 April and the alleged leak of the details of the security arrangements has put the Kerala government under scrutiny.
The letter contained the contact details of the alleged sender NK Johny, a resident of Kochi. Johny has denied writing the letter and said that he suspects it to be the work of someone who has a grudge against him.
It has also questioned Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who holds the Home portfolio.
During his visit, PM Modi would address a youth conference and also inaugurate projects like the Kochi Water Metro and the Vande Bharat connecting Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod.
