Bemetara. Hundreds of BJP workers led by MLA Ishwar Sahu outside the Bemetara Collector’s Chamber are raising slogans against the district administration. BJP workers have questioned the working style of the district administration and accused it of working at the behest of Congress leaders. Police force has been deployed in the Collectorate premises to control the situation on the spot.
Let us tell you that Congress worker Anjor Yadu, who lives in Saja, had posted a picture of MLA Ishwar Sahu in the newspaper along with the news of the arrest of the accused for selling illegal liquor and wrote that, son of BJP leader of Thana Khamhariya area arrested.

After the post went viral on social media, following a complaint by Ishwar Sahu’s supporters, the police arrested Anjor Yadu under the IT Act, after which the SDM released him on bail. This did not go down well with MLA Ishwar Sahu and his supporters, after which they reached the Collectorate premises this evening and gheraoed it.
A BJP worker, who was protesting outside the Collector’s office along with MLA Ishwar Sahu, termed the accused Congress worker Anjor Yadu as the main accused in the Biranpur murder case and said, “Anjor Yadu has tried to tarnish the image of our MLAs by making objectionable remarks against them. However, after the complaint of BJP workers, the police registered an FIR in the case and arrested the accused, but the SDM released him under pressure from the former Congress minister.”
Supporters of MLA Ishwar Sahu say that they are extremely angry with this action of the administration. They have demanded immediate action from the collector and have demanded that the accused be arrested again and sent to jail. They say that if the administration does not accept their demands, they will surround the collector’s residence and launch a big protest.
