The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is gearing up for a 'public outreach' campaign in the Madarihat Assembly segment, as it seeks to retain the seat in an upcoming by-election.
Delhi BJP working president Virendra Sachdeva and other party leaders were detained by the police following a protest at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg against the Kejriwal government’s now-scrapped liquor policy.
Several BJP leaders, including South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri, and party workers raised slogans against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and demanded his resignation.
Heavy police force was deployed in the central part of the city.
