Aligarh: According to the Uttar Pradesh police, a woman in Aligarh has claimed that she was asked to vacate her rented accommodation here by her landlord after she joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The woman, Gulistana, said: "I joined BJP yesterday and when my landlord came to know of it she misbehaved with me and asked me to vacate immediately." Police registered a case under relevant sections of the law and is investigating the matter.
