Lucknow, Jul 2: The lady cop, who had taken on the BJP leaders and fined one of them for not wearing helmet in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahar town, about 500 kilometres from here, was shunted out of the district allegedly on the demand of the local unit of the saffron party.ladycop

Shreshtha Thakur, the circle officer (CO) of Syana in Bulandshahar, was on Saturday night transferred to Baharaich, according to the official sources here.

“Got transfer to Bahraich, it’s Nepal border, don’t worry my friends I am happy ..I accept it as a reward for my good work. U all are invited to Bahraich,” said Thakur on her Facebook page. Over 200 police officers had been transferred in the reshuffle on Saturday.

Sources in the BJP here said that the local leader from Bulandshahar had taken up the incident with the state party president and deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.

''The local leaders said that the lady cop had humiliated them....they had made it a prestige issue,'' said a senior state BJP leader here. A home department official, however, termed the transfer a routine one.

BJP leaders had allegedly misbehaved with Thakur after the cops challaned the vehicle of a district panchayat member and party leader Pramod Lodhi for not being in possession of valid documents and not wearing helmet a week back.

Reports said that hundreds of BJP workers, who were led by local leaders, surrounded the lady officer and misbehaved with her. They also allegedly forcibly got Pramod released from the police custody inside the district court premises.

New Delhi, Feb 4: Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, on Tuesday attacked the BJP over Anantkumar Hegde's controversial remark on Mahatma Gandhi and termed the party as "Ravan ke aulad" (children of Ravana). "Aaj ye Mahatma Gandhi ko gaali dete hain. Ye Ravan ke aulad hain. Ram ke pujari ka ye apmaan kar rahe hain (Today, they abuse Mahatma Gandhi. They are children of Ravan. They are insulting Lord Ram's devotee)," Chowdhury said.

Later, BJP lawmakers object to Chowdhury's statement. Hegde, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Uttara Kannada, had on Saturday said that the freedom struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi was a "drama".

"None of these so-called leaders were beaten up by the cops even once. Their independence movement was one big drama. It was staged by these leaders with the approval of the British. It was not a genuine fight. It was an adjustment freedom struggle," Hegde had said while addressing a public event in Bengaluru. While several Congress leaders, including Karti Chidambaram and BK Hariprasad, have condemned Hegde's remark, BJP leaders too have distanced themselves from it.

Top leadership in BJP is unhappy with Anantkumar Hegde over his controversial remark on Mahatma Gandhi, party sources had said on Monday, adding that he has been asked to issue an unconditional apology.
