When security guards came forward, the Chief Minister stopped them and said: “Let him throw as much as he wants. Throw as much as you want”.
Unfazed by the attack, Nitish Kumar told the person to keep hurling objects at him.
However, this is not the first time that Nitish Kumar has faced heckling at election rallies. Earlier, at a poll, slippers were flung at him while at others he was booed by people among the crowd.
Days ago, a slipper was thrown at Bihar CM by some protestors on Monday while he was going towards his helicopter after addressing rally in Muzaffarpur.
At an election rally, some people shouted slogans against him and in favour of RJD. This resulted in Nitish Kumar losing his cool and giving the hooligans a dressing down.
