While BJP leader Sanjay Jaiswal was attacking Nitish Kumar Government over heavy violence during Agneepath protests, State Energy Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav asked him about the 1,111 arrests made during the agitation.
Sanjay Jaiswal had criticized the Nitish Kumar government for not taking action against the mob during the Agneepath protest, which led to large-scale violence in several districts.
“Bihar Police has arrested 1,111 people involved in the arson during the Agneepath protest. Opposition leaders have been demanding the release of youths arrested during the Agneepath agitation. If the Bihar Police had not acted against the agitators, how could 1,111 people be kept behind bars. Jaiswal should answer on this.
“Opposition leaders are not allowing the monsoon session to run smoothly. They are demonstrating inside and outside the house and demanding the immediate release of the agitators. Then who is on the right, the opposition leader or Sanjay Jaiswal and other BJP leaders,” Yadav said.
“We are running the government under a coalition and the BJP should respect the sentiments of the alliance before reacting or blaming us,” Yadav said.
