Chennai auto driver assaulted by BJP workers for asking about fuel price
BJP workers assaulted an auto-rickshaw driver in Chennai on Monday, Sept 17 when he questioned state BJP chief Tamilisai Soundararajan about rising fuel prices while she was addressing the media
An auto-rickshaw driver here was allegedly assaulted by BJP members when he asked the party's state President about rising oil prices.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's Tamil Nadu chief, Tamilisai Soundararajan, was addressing the media here on Sunday when an auto-rickshaw driver, Kadir, who was standing behind her, asked her about the rising fuel prices.
While Soundararajan ignored the question and kept facing the camera unperturbed, BJP members near her pushed him back and later pulled him away.
Soundararajan had earlier complained to Tuticorin airport authorities about a young woman, Sofia, who shouted anti-BJP slogans inside an aircraft.
The police took Sofia into custody but got bail the next day.
