SP leader Mukesh Siddarth was arrested after he allegedly threatened to set minister Somendra Tomar on fire and accused the Meerut police of not acting against the latter.
At least two members of the opposition were allegedly thrashed, and one of them had part of their clothing torn off, by BJP members after an argument at a meeting of the Meerut Municipal Corporation on Saturday.
The BJP achieved unprecedented success in the 2023 civic body elections with 813 councillors of municipal corporations, 89 chairpersons of municipal councils, 1360 members, 191 chairpersons of Nagar Panchayats, and 1403 members getting elected from the party.
