PM Modi Lucknow Gamla Chori viral video: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday inaugurated Rashtriya Prerna Sthal in Lucknow on the occasion of the 101st birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, paying tribute to his life and ideals.

To mark the occasion, the administration beautifully decorated the green corridor around the venue with hundreds of flower pots (gamlas). However, moments after the event concluded and PM Modi departed, an unexpected incident grabbed nationwide attention.

Viral Videos Show People Taking Flower Pots

Several videos shared by passersby on social media show people loading flower pots into cars, bikes, and even carrying them by hand. These clips quickly went viral, triggering widespread reactions online.

What further intensified the controversy was that some individuals seen in the videos were carrying BJP flags, leading to allegations of vandalism and misuse of public property.

Social Media Divided Over Responsibility

Supporters of PM Modi defended him, arguing that the Prime Minister had no role in such actions.

 Did he instruct the administration to waste money on such decoration?”
