"Nobody tolerates such things," he said, adding, "I would request the party central leaders to take up the matter with the Prime Minister and protest this type of attitude."
Yeddyurappa said his government would write to President Pratibha Patil and the PM about this incident.
"Such things should not be repeated in future," he told reporters before leaving for Delhi to hold talks with the BJP central leadership in the wake of Governor H R Bhardwaj sanctioning his prosecution over alleged land scams.
Reports said police, CRPF jawans and railway police created a blackout and removed the front engine, placing it at the back, at Sarola station in Ahmednagar district. They also attached two more bogies, filled with over 1,500 police jawans early yesterday.
