Hansalpur and Bachuraji farmers have been opposing the state government’s move to give land for Maruti plant.”As per the model code of conduct, for any meeting or even holding road show the political parties have to seek permission from the collectorate and police, but the Gujarat unit of AAP had not taken any permission for the road show,” a police officer said.However, local AAP leader and media coordinator H Nayak said that this was done at the behest of BJP, which has misused the government machinery. The support that Kejriwal was getting from the common public in the villages had sent tremors in the BJP state unit, which misused the police and disrupted the programme.
