The following day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in the Puranpur area, pitching for BJP candidate Jitin Prasada. He expressed his intentions to showcase the splendour of the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve to the world. However, this declaration failed to resonate with the family members of Bhole Ram and other villagers, gripped by fear of another attack by the big cat.
