BHOPAL: Members of Yadav community burnt an effigy of AICC secretary and state in-charge Deepak Bawariya for alleged deregulatory comment against the community, here on Sunday. The Congress termed it as work of rival party.
A few members of the community reached the PCC office and raised the slogans against Bawaria. The members alleged that the Congress leader tried to taint the Yadav community by his statement. Raising ‘Go back Bawaria’, the protestors burnt effigy of Bawariya.
Congress media in-charge Manak Agarwal, however, said that BJP is creating all the fuss over Bawariya’s statement. In a bid to woo the community members ahead of the Assembly elections, the BJP party is trying to take political mileage by defaming the Congress leader, said Agarwal.
Bawaria has already clarified that he respects Yadav community and also has great reverence for Lord Krishna.
The party spokesperson said that citing a Gujarati saying, Bawariya had given a message of unity, but to take political benefits, other parties are misinterpreting it .
