Union Minister Giriraj Singh said on Thursday that the victory of Sarfaraz Alam of the RJD in Araria would make the place a hub of terrorism, which would be a danger not only to Bihar but to the country as a whole.
“The RJD has started a new political culture for its political ambitions ... They have spawned an extremist ideology...”, Mr. Singh claimed.
The RJD was quick to react. “This man is a Central Minister and unfortunately he is not aware that it’s his government in Bihar and Delhi,” Tejashwi Yadav tweeted. “If he and the BJP don’t believe in Nitish Kumar’s leadership, then why don’t they ask him to step down or withdraw support? Such a shame for Nitish Kumar,” he said.
