The Bihar Assembly today witnessed a political showdown between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) & Mahagathbandhan over incidents of Ram Navami violence in the state.
BJP-led opposition today launched a scathing attack on Nitish Kumar government in the Assembly & cornered it over its failure to put a stop to violence in 2 riot-hit districts of the state.
Notably, several incidents of communal violence took place in Nalanda & Sasaram districts during Ram Navami processions and 1 person also lost his life while 10 are injured.
BJP, JD(U) trade barbs
Amid the high drama in Assembly, the BJP & JD (U) engaged in bitter war of words.
Earlier today, CM Nitish Kumar told media that violence erupted in two cities over incitement by certain elements and it was not a failure of law & administration.
On the other hand, BJP was unsparing in its attack on Mahagathbandhan & accused it of ‘appeasement politics’ for minority vote bank.
