BJP leaders, including Chairman Municipal Corporation Raipur Prafull Vishwakarma and Satyam Dua, were on Saturday detained by Saraswati Nagar police for obstructing the public dedication function of a railway over-bridge (RoB) at Gondwara in the state capital.
Stating that the credit for the construction of the RoB goes to former BJP government and that it was the efforts of former chief minister Raman Singh and PWD minister Rajesh Munat, the BJP workers led by Vishwakarma were raising slogans in favour of the party.
To avert deterioration of law-and-order situation and nuisance at the function chaired by the Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, the Saraswati Nagar police detained the BJP leaders and activists. They were released only after the function was over.
