Hundreds of BJP office bearers and workers courted arrest on Friday during a statewide agitation against the ruling Congress "for not keeping its farm loan waiver promise".
In Jaipur, nearly 10,000 BJP workers took out a rally from the state BJP headquarters to Civil Lines Crossing in the city, led by state party president Madan Lal Saini and MP Ramcharan Bohra. Former state ministers Arun Chaturvedi, Kali Charan Saraf and sitting MLAs Ramlal Sharma and Ashok Lahoti also participated in the agitation.
Police said, "The protesters shouted slogans against the government, tried to cross barricades laid by the force and courted arrest. They were released later."
