Supporters of arch political rivals, former chief minister Raghubar Das and his one-time bete noire in the BJP who ended up ousting him from the Assembly Saryu Roy, clashed at Burmamines on Thursday morning over the celebration of Pandit Dindayal Upadhyaya s birth anniversary.
According to sources, as Roy’s supporters assembled at Raghubar Nagar at 10.30am to begin the function, BJP supporters of Das arrived and started creating a ruckus. A clash ensued in which stones were freely hurled by both groups. But police were quick to intervene and ensure the violence did not escalate.
