Though I was new to the assignment and his political rallies were none of my business, I offered some unsolicited advice. I told him that it would not be appropriate to cancel the rallies at the last moment. With my recent experience as a DM, I also told him that a lot of preparatory work goes into rallies and there would be a lot of anticipation on the ground. The CM, apparently, did not like my intervention, at least in the beginning.
