Uma Bharti throws cow dung at liquor shop in Madhya Pradesh

In March this year, the former State chief minister had hurled a stone at a liquor shop in Bhopal

Senior BJP leader Uma Bharti threw cow dung at a liquor shop in Orchha town of Madhya Pradesh's Niwari district, amid her demand for total prohibition in the party-ruled State.

After the incident on June 14, Ms. Bharti in a tweet claimed the shop was not approved for the spot where it was located, and that it was a "crime" to open such an outlet in the holy town of Orchha.

However, police said the shop was located at the place where it was sanctioned.

A video surfaced on social media in which Ms. Bharti was seen throwing cow dung at the liquor shop on Tuesday evening in Orchha, a religious town famous for the Ram Raja temple, located 330 km from the State capital Bhopal.

In the clip, Ms. Bharti was heard telling the person shooting the video, “See, I have thrown the cow dung and not pelted stones.”

In March this year, the former State chief minister had hurled a stone at a liquor shop in Bhopal.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday night, Ms. Bharti said, “The shop, located at the main entrance of Orchha, is not approved for its current location, but for a distant village. The people and our organisation members staged protests against it continuously.”
