BJP candidate from Godda alleges man-handling by JVM(P) supporters

Godda, May 19 (UNI) BJP candidate from Godda Lok Sabha seat Nishikant Dubey today accused the JVM(P) supporters of being involved in man-handling with him while he was trying to get inside one of the polling booths in Poriyahaat.

Dubey alongwith his supporters was on a round in the area when he reached at the polling booth at Pasai where he was alleged man-handled by the supporters of the JVM(P).

The policemen accompanying the BJP leader and the security personnel at the polling booths later intervened into the situation to cool off the tension between the two sides.
