Naked protest failed

By AT News |

Startling facts seem to have surfaced on the naked dharna in Dispur on Saturday alleging horse trading by the Congress and BPF.

Sources alleged it a conspiracy to foil the Narendra Modi’s rally in Khanapara.

Those behind the conspiracy allegedly tried to divert the media attention from the BJP rally to the naked protest. The protesters were not prominent KMSS leaders to stage dharna against the horse trading in the Rajya Sa bha polls.

Dispur police have already detained them for staging the naked protest in front of the state secretariat on Saturday.
