The rally was supposed to start from 1 pm but police started blocking the roads from 11 am, BJP workers said.<\/p>\n<p>The BJP workers and supporters then changed the route on an urgent basis which was decided as Tollygunge Phaari to Hazra crossing. But, the police were on the alert and did not allow the rally to start.<\/p>\n<p>BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya was picked up by police as soon as he reached the spot. A scuffle soon followed between police and the central security force in charge of Vijayvargiya\u2019s security as the police tried to put him inside the van to be taken away from the spot.<\/p>\n<p>A number of BJP workers were arrested from the rally as well. Mukul Roy too was picked up from the spot. BJP workers protested as the police tried to take them to the police vans.<br \/>\nTraffic came to a standstill as clashes between the BJP workers and police continued. Many pedestrians got stuck in the chaos.<\/p>\n<p>Vijayvargiya accused chief minister Mamata Banerjee to be following discriminatory policy when it came to rallies and protests. He said she allowed all political parties to conduct rallies anywhere in the state except BJP.<\/p>\n<p>[Image: representational, shows earlier BJP protest rally in Central Avenue]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kailash Vijayvargiya and Mukul Roy picked up by police. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":8413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[57,69,266,49,216,265],"adace-sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-8412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-bengal","tag-bjp","tag-caa","tag-kailash-vijayvargiya","tag-mamata-banerjee","tag-mukul-roy","tag-pro-caa-rally"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
