As voting in the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections began today, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supporters hurled slippers, pelted stones at Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha. The Tejashwi Yadav-led party leaders also blocked the convoy of the BJP leader and chanted 'murdabad'.
Deputy CM and Lakhisarai BJP candidate Sinha came out of the convoy and said These are RJD goons. He said they are unable to come into power. "Satta mein aa rahi hai NDA isliye inke chhati pe bulldozer chalega," he added.
He further claimed that RJD supporters are not letting him visit at the polling booth in 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 told news agency ANI.
