Tension prevails at Pooluvapatti in Coimbatore district
Tension prevailed at Pooluvapatti in Coimbatore district on Saturday after BJP workers installed the portrait of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the town panchayat office, accusing the local body of having rejected their pleas.
The BJP workers alleged that the town panchayat administration had installed a portrait of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi at the office but refused to install the Prime Minister’s.
A group of BJP workers, led by M. Baskaran, district secretary of the trade unions affiliated to the party and a former councillor of the panchayat, walked into the office in the morning with a portrait of Mr. Modi and informed the officials of their intent to install it.
