Video grab of the clash that broke out between supporters on Friday
VADODARA: The Congress and BJP workers clashed with each other on Dabhoi Road during the civic poll campaign on Friday afternoon. At least five persons suffered injuries and some vehicles were damaged during the clashes that happened just hours before the civic poll campaign closed. Both parties blamed each other for the violence but the police said that no FIR was registered in the case.
“It was a pre-planned attack on our campaign rally by the BJP. Senior BJP leaders had provoked the workers to create ruckus in our ward as they are scared of losing,” claimed Congress leader, Chandrakant Srivastava, who is contesting from ward 16. Srivastava’s son Vishal suffered minor head injuries along with Congress workers, Jay Thakore and Ashish Mangrola.
