Cadre of Bharatiya Janata Party performed yoga on the road outside the Amma Yoga Centre and inside a temple complex at Sundarapuram area in Ganesapuram on Thursday in protest against the locking of the centre by the ruling party men.
Though permission was obtained to perform yoga in the centre, a few ruling party men locked the centre.
It was told that after the cadre sent a complaint to the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister through social media, the centre was opened in the afternoon.
However, police maintained that the BJP men dispersed after performing yoga for about half an hour.
S.R. Sekar, State treasurer of Traders Wing, and district secretary C.R. Nandakumar participated in the yoga programme.
Meanwhile, an awareness programme on yoga and training was conducted for the BJP cadre and their family members at Flushing Meadows residential colony at Kaikolampalayam.
