Varanasi: A Banaras Hindu University student union leader was roughed up by public for raising a demand before Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi on Monday. Ashutosh Singh demanded to hold students union elections in the varsity.
Singh raised his demand the moment Modi ended his speech at BHU.
Police has detained him but he will be released soon.
Modi has arrived in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi for taking part in the birth anniversary celebrations of the 15th century Dalit poet and mystic Ravidas besides attending the convocation ceremony at the BHU.
This is the sixth visit of Modi to his Lok Sabha constituency after he became the Prime Minister in May 2014. His last tour was a month ago, on January 22.
The tour comes just ahead of Parliament's Budget Session, scheduled to commence on February 23 which is expected to be stormy in view of the politically surcharged atmosphere prevailing in the country.
