In the backdrop of the recent attack on a morning-walker couple that left the wife dead and husband seriously injured, the party announced the formation of the Bhagwa Guard (Saffron Guard) to patrol gardens, parks, and grounds in the city.

The guards have their uniforms — an orange T-shirt that reads ‘Phira muktapane, Bhagwa Guard sobti, mug kashachi bheeti?’ (Roam freely with the Saffron Guards for company.)
