In Ranchi, an FIR has been filed against 12,051 individuals, including prominent BJP leaders such as Babulal Marandi and Arjun Munda, for their involvement in clashes with police during a Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) rally on August 23. The BJP rally aimed to protest against the state government's handling of corruption and youth unemployment ahead of the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections. Meanwhile, in Lucknow, police registered an FIR against Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai and over 100 others for causing significant disruptions during a protest demanding a parliamentary investigation into the Hindenburg Report on August 22. The protests in Lucknow obstructed public order and traffic, leading to complaints from citizens affected by the disruptions. Both incidents highlight increasing tensions between political parties and law enforcement as elections approach. The situation in both states reflects the escalating political climate in India as parties prepare for imminent elections.
