Manoj Tiwari Faces Death Threat At Rally

 Bihar was  abuzz  on Monday with  rumours of  BJP’s top crowdpuller  Manoj Tiwari facing  death threat at a  rally in  a mofussil town  of   Bihar.Security around  the  Bhojpuri actor was  duly tightened, and Manoj was advised to  skip the risky rally.

 However Manoj decided to brave it with full State security.

Before  flying off to  the dangerous  spot  Manoj told this writer,  “It is true that there are  reports  of  death threat at a  rally in  a town named  Dinara. I’ve been advised by my party members   to skip that rally. But  how can I  disappoint so  many of the  people who would be gathered at Dinara?”

Tiwari has been  travelling to  rallies on behalf of parent party(the BJP) to  as many as 4-5  Bihar towns  every day by a private  jet. In  the evening he jets back to Delhi to be with his  family.

Manoj Tiwari  who has been campaigning  for  the BJP  during the current Bihar elections says threats  cannot  obstruct  his  plans. “Of course the threat scares me.  But  it can’t stop me  from doing what I’ve set  out to do. My (BJP) Party relies on me  to  bring in  the crowds . By God’s  grace every rally that I’ve addressed in  Bihar  attracts a crowd  of  10-15 thousand  people.  It’s crazy!  The  supporters  come  from far-off places with great hopes and expectations.  I can’t let them down. As far as threats  go, they are a  part  of  the territory. If one has to go one will go. But until the day I’m  destined to  go on one can  harm me.”

What worries Manoj Tiwari more at  the the moment is the  absence of social distancing at these  election rallies.  “Thousands are packed together in a maidaan. They do not follow any Covid guidelines. We are  all exposed  to   a very high level of infection risk.”
