Bright coloured flag poles of the BJP have replaced the traditional flex boards and cut-outs on the Chennai-Bengaluru Highway (NH 44) between Vellore and Kandaneri village, near the Pallikonda toll plaza and a distance of 23 km, where Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a public meeting on Sunday.
Except for the venue at Kandaneri, where a large number of unauthorised flex boards were erected, the rest of the stretch was dotted with party flag poles on the median.
The Union Minister was in Vellore to highlight the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nine-year rule. “The BJP did not seek permission from us for such installations. However, flex boards that are erected around the venue of the event are illegal. Action will be taken on it,” said K. Sudhakar, Block Development Officer (BDO), Anaicut taluk (Vellore).
