The fact is the DM has changed his story several times, depending on the listener. On the evening of May 5, when the BJP asked for permission for Modi to address a public meeting in Benia Bagh in Varanasi, his only campaign speech in the urban segment of the constituency, the DM verbally agreed. It was decided a formal application and the deposit for the ground would be submitted the following morning. This was duly done at 7.30 am on May 6.
At 2.00 pm on May 6, the district magistrate informed the BJP that Benia Bagh could not be allotted for the Modi meeting as one "Mr Khan" had booked it in the interim on behalf of his NGO. Apparently, he wanted to unfurl the national flag. Subsequently, other district officials confirmed to BJP functionaries that Mr Khan's application had been backdated and that the DM had exempted him from paying the deposit.
When confronted, the DM cancelled Mr Khan's allotment and instead told the BJP he had received a report from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) in Delhi warning of a security threat. Arun Jaitley, senior leader of the BJP, contacted the IB and was categorically told by the top leadership of the Bureau that no such special warning had been issued......At the Election Commissioners' media conference on the afternoon of May 8, the EC added another twist to the tale. It said the DM had rejected the Benia Bagh option because the ground was too small to accommodate the big crowds Modi would gather. This too didn't make sense. After all, in the set of permissions delivered at close to 2.00 am that morning, the DM had asked the BJP to hold its public meeting at the Chhota Cutting Memorial Maidan. This is smaller than Benia Bagh and takes in only 3,000.....Meeting a senior leader of the Varanasi BJP, the DM smiled in the midst of a disagreement and said, "After all, I have to stay here after the election ..." The implication of obvious. He had a state government - and a ruling party - to serve.
An opposite viewpoint is here but it doesn't tell us what happened.
