Media reports had earlier cited that the BJP leader would visit the Baptist church during his visit to Nagaland. The reports were based on a leaked first draft of the saffron party’s itinerary.

Clarifying their intentions the BJP issued a statement that said: “We have no such ill intention to drag the good name of the KABA; and we sincerely acknowledge and respect the sentiment of the Church for declining our request, the reason, being very genuine, as the Church is already pre-occupied with other programs.”
