Bihar poll day violence: Vijay Sinha's convoy attacked in Lakhisarai; deputy CM vows to run bulldozer on RJD's chest

PATNA: Tension flared in Bihar’s Lakhisarai on Thursday after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supporters surrounded the car of deputy chief minister and BJP candidate Vijay Kumar Sinha, hurling slippers and shouting slogans against him.

Videos from the scene showed a group of protesters chanting “Vijay Sinha Murdabad” as they gathered around the deputy CM’s vehicle, blocking its movement and demanding he turn back.



Sinha accused RJD supporters of violence and intimidation. “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.




He added, “I am here at the village. The crowd is coming closer. Send Special Force 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.”

Sinha further criticised the protesters for intimidating voters. “These are RJD goons. Look at their hooliganism even when they have not come to power. They threatened my polling agent and turned him away at 6.30 am itself. They are not letting voters come out,” he said.

However, the RJD denied any role in the incident.

Police personnel were present at the spot and were seen attempting to control the crowd and clear the way for the minister’s convoy.
