Bihar Deputy CM responds after attack on his convoy in Lakhisarai: 'Bulldozers over their chest'

After his convoy was attacked in Lakhisarai, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha on Thursday said he will not let “Jungle Raj” prevail in Bihar.

Sinha, a three-time MLA, who is contesting the Bihar Assembly elections from the Lakhisarai seat, claimed the assault was carried out by RJD supporters. The BJP leader, who is contesting from his home seat this time too, was visiting polling booths as Bihar votes in the first phase of a high-voltage Assembly election.

The crowd reportedly hurled slippers and chanted "murdabad", forbidding him from going ahead.

"These are the goons of RJD. Satta mein aa rahi hai NDA isliye inke chhati pe bulldozer chalega. The goons are not letting me visit the village. Vijay Sinha is going to win...They turned away my polling agent and did not let him vote...Look at their hooliganism...This is 404 and 405 booth numbers of Khoriari village,” he said. "Slippers and cow dung were flung at my convoy. Stones were also thrown. The RJD workers were trying to capture a polling booth. We will complain to the Election Commission," he said.

Soon after the incident, the Deputy CM spoke to the Superintendent of Police (SP) on the phone following the incident. Police personnel are present at the spot.
