Supporters of BJP leaders ransack party office

Supporters of two BJP leaders allegedly ransacked the party office in Patna on October 1, 2010 protesting refusal of party tickets to them in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

Policemen rushed to the BJP office and tried to pacify the agitators, who sat on dharna in the office premises and demanded to know from senior leaders why the two leaders were denied tickets.

Police said the supporters of BJP MLA Sri Krishna Singh and another leader Arvind Singh damaged furniture, electronic equipments and television sets in the party office and shouted slogans against top leaders accusing them of accepting money for giving tickets.
