Two days after nine serial blasts rocked the Bodh Gaya temple town, Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh and senior leader Arun Jaitley will visit the Mahabodhi temple on Tuesday. The visit comes as the BJP leaders on Monday trained guns on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for failure to prevent the terror attack on the Mahabodhi temple.
"It is a serious issue that central agencies had warned about this attack and given specific inputs that Bodh Gaya would be attacked and still no proper arrangements were made (by the state government)," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, however, dismissed suggestions that there was any security lapse and said adequate precautionary measures were taken to beef up security at the Mahabodhi temple and surrounding areas in the wake of intelligence inputs.
The bombs that targeted the world renowned pilgrimage town of Bodhgaya and Mahabodhi temple complex had a mix of ammonium nitrate and sulphur and were neatly packed in small cylinders, a preliminary report has said.
