Video: A Tug-Of-War Between UP Cops, BJP Workers For Rahul Gandhi's Effigy

The BJP workers took out a march to protest against a statement by Rahul Gandhi over reservation during his recent visit to the US.

A curious tug-of-war between some policemen and BJP workers was witnessed in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur district today. The bone of contention was an effigy of Rahul Gandhi.

The BJP workers took out a march to protest against a statement by Rahul Gandhi over reservation during his recent visit to the US. They also tried to burn the effigy of the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. The police, however, blocked the attempt. Visuals showed policemen snatching pieces of the effigy and running away with the party workers chasing after them.

Mr Gandhi during an interaction with students of Georgetown University in the US said the Congress would think of scrapping reservations when "India is a fair place", which he claimed was not the case right now.
