Rajkot: Siddharth Parmar, a former BJP MLA, now a Dalit Mahasangh worker, staged a dharna outside the SCA Stadium hours before the start of the Gujarat Lions vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL tie yesterday to protest against the tournament being held here given the drought-like situation in the region.

SCA secretary Niranjan Shah claims the water used for maintaining the grounds is not government-supplied and the association has made its own arrangements. Representation Pic/Thinkstock
