In a video, AAP's women workers were seen engaged in an altercation with BJP leaders Shraddha Rajput and Shraddha Jha
Workers of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by its Gujarat unit president Gopal Italia, barged into the state BJP headquarters in Gandhinagar to register their protest over the recent leaking of a question paper of clerk recruitment exam, and clashed with activists of the ruling party on December 20, leaving an unspecified number of people injured, said police.
The Gandhinagar police registered an FIR against a mob of 500 people and arrested nearly 70 workers and leaders of the AAP, including Gopal Italia, for creating ruckus inside the State BJP headquarters, 'Kamalam', where police wielded lathis to control the situation, officials said.
Some policemen along with BJP workers received injuries, they said.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
