The statement made by IAS officer Santosh Verma on Brahmin girls at a function of the Anusuchit Jati Evam Janjati Karmachari Sangh on Monday snowballed into a major issue on Tuesday.

The Brahmins across the country tore into Verma throughout the day. The leaders of the BJP and the Congress were critical of the statement.

The members of the Brahmin Samaj staged sit-ins across the state, demanding action against Verma.

Meanwhile, Verma tendered an apology, saying his statement was twisted.
