A group of Congress workers today protested by removing their shirts in Bicholim town against BJP alleging the saffron party is resorting to "dictatorship".

The Congress workers led by Goa Pradesh Congress Committee general secretary Manohar Shirodkar removed their shirts at the historic Shivaji Maidan in Bicholim this evening.

"BJP is resorting to dictatorship. They removed all the banners of Congress put up to welcome party's padayatra," Shirodkar told reporters.

He claimed the BJP had installed their banners on the eve of 'Vijay Sankalp' rally.

"Bjp workers are behaving like goons. They don't believe in democracy," alleged the Congress leader.
 

The Congress workers said they were protesting to attract attention towards the "attitude" of BJP in the run up to the state legislative assembly polls.

The coastal state is due for polls before March 2017.
