New DelhiPolice detained 3 former chief ministers on Saturday.
They were heading to a rally against India’s Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar.
Police stopped Mamata Banerjee at a bus stand, held Arvind Kejriwal at home, and took Pinarayi Vijayan to Chhatrasal Stadium.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said Rahul Gandhi tried to drag the President into a “political street fight.”
Reports do not say whether those held were released, and the opposition plans a larger protest Monday.
