Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 14 (ANI): The alleged removal of a portrait of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the Panchayat Office in Veppathur town of Thanjavur district, has triggered a huge row with BJP workers protesting the action and seeking police action against a Panchayat official.
