Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha’s convoy came under attack in Bihar’s Lakhisarai district on polling day, as unidentified men hurled stones, slippers, and cow dung, and chanted “Murdabad” slogans to block his passage. Sinha alleged that he was attacked by the RJD goons during polling in his constituency.
While speaking exclusively to CNN-News18, Sinha claimed that a group of nearly 100 people surrounded him when he went to complain to local authorities about a polling agent not being allowed to sit at a booth.
“The polling agent was not allowed to sit. I complained to the SP about it. Soon after, I was surrounded. Slippers, stones and even cow dung were thrown at me,” Sinha told CNN-News18.
Blaming the Tejashwi Yadav-led RJD for the attack, the Deputy Chief Minister said that RJD supporters were resorting to violence fearing defeat in the ongoing elections. “These are the goons of RJD. Look at their hooliganism, even when they have not come to power. This shows their mindset. They are engaging in goondaism because they fear losing the elections,” he said.
Following the attack, Sinha spoke to the Superintendent of Police over the phone, demanding immediate intervention and reinforcements. “I am here at the village. The crowd is coming closer. Send Special Forces here. I will sit here in protest. The SP is so weak and a coward. They are not letting the Deputy CM go in. They have hurled stones and cow dung,” he said as quoted by news agency ANI.
“Satta mein aa rahi hai NDA isliye inke chhati pe bulldozer chalega (NDA is coming to power, and that’s why they’re panicking — a bulldozer will run over their arrogance.) 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 added.
