"He can't give the right rates for their agricultural produce, can't give them bonus, can't give compensation... He can only give them bullets." Hundreds of Congress workers as well as senior leaders like Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot and Madhya Pradesh legislator Jaiwardhan Singh also courted arrest while trying to make their way to Mandsaur. They were taken to a guesthouse of a cement company, a police official said. PTI
