Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The dispute involving IAS officer Santosh Verma and the attempted capture of AJJAKS (Anusuchit Jati-Janjati Adhikari Evam Karmchari Sangh) headquarters in Bhopal surfaced on Sunday following an ongoing leadership rivalry within the organisation.
Two factions of AJJAKS came face to face at AJJAKS Bhavan in Tulsi Nagar. One side recognises Mukesh Maurya as the legitimate state president, a position backed by official state records and the Madhya Pradesh government.
The opposing side claimed Santosh Verma was unanimously elected as the new president following the resignation of previous leader JN Kansotia.
