Ghaziabad, March 17 (IANS) BJP leader and former Indian Army chief Gen. V.K. Singh was Monday heckled by party workers when he visited the BJP office here, police said.
The former army chief reached the party office at 6.30 p.m. and met office bearers.
When Gen. V.K. Singh was talking with the party's Ghaziabad district president Arvind Bharti and Hapur district president Sanjay Tyagi, about a dozen party workers started shouting slogans like "Go back general", "Ghaziabad needs local workers not paratroopers".
