BJP youth leader arrested for attack on Rahul Gandhi's car


Ahmedabad, Aug 5 (IANS): A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) youth wing leader was arrested on Saturday in connection with the attack on Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's car when he was visiting north Gujarat's flood-affected Banaskantha district on Friday.

The action comes after 18 hours of night-long dharna and demonstration by Congress leaders and scores of district level supporters.

Palanpur unit BJP youth wing general secretary Jayesh Darji was arrested by the Banaskantha district on Saturday after registering an FIR, which also names three others.

One of them is Bhagwanbhai Patel, chairman of Dhanera Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC). It is from the APMC market yard in Dhanera that the wave of protests against Rahul Gandhi started.

The police had through the night refused to take the complaint from former Gujarat Congress chief Arjun Modhwadia and others till a meeting between district police and senior officers.

    the difference is even though he is a BJP man hailing from a BJP ruled state, he was still arrested.
    sharath murders are roaming free..nearly a month over.

    rai is going to pay heavily for this.

    Dear Shivanand,Udipi/Qatar May be I am day dreaming and your BJP is going to rule Gujarat for ever and ever but ask yourself whether it is a correct thing to do to throw stones at an opposition leader. RG is nowhere near to MODI' s political calibre is agreed by all but then there is something called ballot to decide who should rule. (FYI I don't belong to any political party and as I am a NRI I have never voted in my life. AS a citizen of India I am only concerned about the present day goonda politics)

    Desh Bachao should be the next election slogan for the people of India. The fear of Anarchy looms large over the horizons. God save our Beloved Country.
