Section 144 was imposed in Bodhan town of Telangana’s Nizamabad district after clashes between members of two political factions over the setting up of a Shivaji statue.
Local BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri said that a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji was planned to be erected at the Ambedkar crossroad of Bodhan town, which shares a border with Maharashtra.
He alleged that AIMIM and TRS workers, opposed to the statue’s installation, raised objections and tried to get in the way. Matters took a violent turn with the AIMIM and TRS supporters pitted against BJP and Shiv Sena activists.
"The same crooked mindset..Demolish ours--Accomplish theirs! MIM and TRS goons trying to thwart the unveiling of the statue of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and destroy the statue set up at Bodhan Ambedkar Chowrasta accepted by a municipal resolution," tweeted Dharmapuri.
