The recent arrests of two functionaries from BJP’s youth wing in connection with the assault on a fruit vendor at Palladam in Tiruppur district will be beneficial to the party, said party State president K. Annamalai on Monday.
He visited the residences of BJP’s district youth wing secretary Ramesh and Palladam South union youth wing secretary Rajkumar, who were arrested and remanded in judicial custody on January 13 by the Palladam police. “I am happy in a way because after this incident, our party is going to get two important leaders,” he told mediapersons. These arrests would improve the “political maturity and experience” of the two functionaries, Mr. Annamalai claimed and alleged that the arrests were made to “please somebody.”
