CHITRADURGA: The BJP candidate Govind M Karjol on Friday faced strong rebellion from the BJP workers, as they shouted “Go Back Karjol,” near Challakere gate of the city and near the BJP campaign office located in front of the Boys Junior college in the city.
As soon as the news of arrival of Karjol was received by the section of workers who are opposing the candidature of Karjol, they assembled near Challakere gate and showed ply cards to the BJP candidate.
Understanding the seriousness of the situation, the district police provided security to the candidate.
Karjol who faced the heat took another route to reach the BJP campaign office, where he also faced further heat from the BJP rebels.
Black flags, oil, eggs seized
Speaking to TNIE Superintendent of police Dharmendar Kumar Meena said, “The police were on alert and detained 14 people who were about to hurl eggs, stones on Govind Karjol. During the search we also found black flags and oil from the vehicles.”
Based on the information provided by the MCC team the police will initiate action. The alert policing of the Chitradurga district police averted a major embarrassment for the BJP candidate.
