Breaking the elite Special Protection Group (SPG) protocol, the PM approached a group of citizens with folded hands, leaving security officials in a frenzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident occurred during the PM&#8217;s recent visit to North Bengal for election campaigning. While staying at a luxury resort in Salugara, a high-profile destination wedding was simultaneously taking place at the same venue. Due to the Prime Minister\u2019s presence, the resort was under a heavy security blanket, causing unavoidable inconvenience to the wedding guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sensing the difficulty faced by the families, PM Modi decided to interact with them before heading to his rally. Bypassing his security ring, he walked straight to the guests and said, &#8220;You all had to face a lot of trouble because of me. Please forgive me.&#8221; He also extended his blessings and best wishes to the newlywed couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stunned by this unexpected humility, the guests erupted in cheers and &#8220;Modi Modi&#8221; chants. While the authenticity of the viral video remains unverified by official sources, the Prime Minister\u2019s empathetic approach has left a lasting impression on the public and continues to trend across digital platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a rare departure from strict security norms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi displayed a heartwarming gesture in Siliguri that has taken social media by storm.
