Ex-BJP MLA held for ‘threatening’ CM

A day after former BJP’s former MLA Surendranath Singh threatened bloodshed of Chief Minister on Bhopal roads over public issues, the police arrested him (Singh) here on Friday.

Later, by the evening, Singh was granted bail in two cases registered against him.

Opposing removal of roadside kiosks and inflated electricity bills, Singh the former MLA of Bhopal Madhya assembly constituency had led a massive protest in city on Thursday. While addressing the crowd, the former lawmaker had openly threatened bloodshed on city roads if the demands were not met and claimed the blood would be of Chief Minister Kamal Nath and Chief Secretary.

The TT Nagar police had arrested him from 7 number bus stop market and later produced him in a court.

An audio has also gone viral in which the ex-MLA was threatening the Bhopal municipal corporation Health officer Qamar Saquib. The BJP leader had warned the officer against removal of encroachments or else he would set BMC vehicles on fire. The police have booked him under section 506 and 507 of the IPC.

On Friday, a delegation of Congress leaders had reached TT Nagar police station and lodged a complaint against Singh for using indecent language against the Chief Minister.

On Thursday the former MLA had urged public not to pay inflated bills and instead beat up power company staff. He also threatened that power supply of Mantralaya, Vidhan Sabha and CM House would be snapped.

However, the BJP seems to have taken aback with his aggressive behaviour and distanced itself from his acts.

Former Public Relations minister Narottam Mishra on Friday reacting to Singh’s remarks claimed his intention might be good but he should definitely restrain his language. In social life, one should keep his words in check, advised the minister.

Home Minister Bala Bachchan reacting to the outburst of former BJP MLA alleged that despite a rap from PM Narendra Modi, the BJP leaders were showing no signs of improvement. It can be anyone but the law would take its own course, added the minister.
