TIL Desk/National/Ahmadabad-BJP activists burnt effigies of AAP leader Ashutosh in various parts of the state on Sunday for comparing” his party’s tainted minister Sandeep Kumar, who has been booked for rape, with “son of Gujarat” Mahatma Gandhi. Condemning Ashutosh, the AAP election in-charge of Gujarat, over his controversial blog, the BJP said it “won’t tolerate insult to Mahatma Gandhi.”
Earlier, angry activists set the AAP spokesperson’s effigies on fire at Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Junagad and other cities.
