Party factions led by candidate (Assembly Election) Chetram Thakur started shouting slogans of Go Back to Vijay Pal Singh. The yatra witnessed a tense atmosphere for some time in the program in front of the State President.
Amid the protest Vijaypal Singh had to leave the venue. Vijaypal Singh who is reported close to party president Pratibha Singh stated that he was invited to join yatra and pleaded by party state chief to leave the venue to avoid further rifts.
Thakur Chetram party candidate of Assembly Election stated in the meeting that faction lead by Vijay Pal singh should not invite in the event as they have been fully involved in anti-party activities during the elections.
