BARAN:

On Friday, Congress and BJP workers clashed in Mangrol town of Baran. During this, a Congress leader waved a pistol in the air, which worsened the matter. In fact, the college building was to be inaugurated today in Mangrol town of Baran district. Sharad Sharma, former district president of Youth Congress from Baran, also reached Mangrol along with Congress workers. Bjp workers were already present at Azad Square in the city, where an altercation broke out between workers of the two parties and the matter escalated to such an extent that Sharad Sharma, former district president of Youth Congress, pulled out his licensed gun and waved it.

BJP workers say that Sharad Sharma took out a gun and threatened us. Bjp workers led by party leader Dilip Meena staged a sit-in at Azad Circle in Mangrol demanding the arrest of Sharad Sharma.
