Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha and 300 party workers and leaders were arrested today for allegedly assaulting a Jharkhand State Electricity Board official over a power crisis issue in the state.

Incidentally, Sinha admitted before the media of "instructing" the party's women activists to tie-up JSEB's Hazaribagh branch General Manager Dhanesh Jha using a rope.

"Yes, I have asked them to tie hands of the GM as women are the worst sufferers for not getting power.

Their children's education is also suffering," Sinha told reporters. According to the police, Sinha and around 300 BJP activists including 50 women, locked office of JSEB, Hazaribagh unit, around 9 am and staged a sit-in and did not let any employee enter the office.
