People like Bageshwar Dham chief should go to jail: RJD

[ad_1]
Patna: RJD leaders have reacted strongly to the upcoming visit of self-styled godman Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the chief of Bageshwar Dham, a pilgrimage site in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district, who is scheduled to hold a five-day spiritual camp in Patna soon.
RJD’s state unit chief Jagadanand Singh said that people like Shastri should be put behind bars.
“It is extremely unfortunate that he (Shastri) is not in jail. The BJP is lining up communal hooligans in Bihar. The people of this country have great faith in saints, but the BJP is destroying that. How can a hooligan turn into a saint? It has never happened in our country before,” Singh said.

“Dhirendra Shastri advocates turning India into a Hindu nation. I firmly believe that people’s comments should be within the purview of the Constitution. Such saints are dangerous for the society,” Singh added.
State minister and RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav said: “If Dhirendra Shastri is coming here to stoke communal tension, I will stage a protest at the airport. He can enter Bihar only if he sends across the message of Hindu-Muslim-Sikh-Christian brotherhood.”
Earlier this month, Shastri had drawn the ire of Maharashtra Revenue Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil for his “I don’t consider Saibaba as God… He may be called a saint or fakir” remark.
“A criminal complaint should be filed and action should be taken against him for his irresponsible statement,” Patil had said.

RJD MLA writes angry letter to Nitish, shares it on social media

[ad_1]
Patna: RJD MLA Sudhaker Singh, whose insolence had cost him his cabinet berth, on Saturday shot off an angry letter to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar alleging that the veteran leader had “lost trust of the people”.
The legislator, on whom the party had recently slapped a show cause notice but stopped short of disciplinary action, shared his letter, running into three pages, on social media.
The first-term MLA appeared to have taken to heart the CM’s assertion the day before that his outbursts over farmers’ woes in Bihar betrayed ignorance of the government’s achievements in agriculture, a portfolio he had held for barely a couple of months.
Singh, whose father Jagadanand Singh is the RJD’s state president and a confidant of party supremo Lalu Prasad, signed off, tauntingly, as an “MLA with zero knowledge”.
In his lengthy note, Singh sought to rubbish the longest-serving CM’s claims of agricultural growth, adding: “you seem to have developed a fondness for living in delusions. It may not affect your health but it is bad for the people”.
Singh, who was asked to resign as minister by Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, son and heir apparent of Lalu Prasad, after he repeatedly attacked the government, twisted the knife in the penultimate para of his letter.
“I agree with just one averment of yours that the people are supreme (Janata maalik hai)”, said Singh, referring to a stock-in-trade phrase used by the veteran JD(U) leader.
“Do choose any constituency that suits you in the next elections. The people will show you that they, indeed, are supreme and you have lost their trust,” added the MLA.

JD(U) chief spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar came out with an angry video message as a riposte, which he shared on Twitter tagging the RJD MLA, his party, his father besides the Deputy CM.
Referring to a case pending against a rice mill owned by Sudhaker Singh, which the BJP had flagged to oppose the RJD MLA’s induction into the state cabinet, Neeraj Kumar said, “You have been an accused in a case of 420 (cheating). The way you reeled out statistics to buttress your misleading points shows that you have become a 420 in your mind as well”.
Meanwhile, state BJP spokesman Nikhil Anand said, “In 2021, when we were alliance partners of JD(U), our MLC Tunnaji Pandey was suspended for speaking against Nitish ji. But today, the RJD is allowing Sudhaker Singh to have his way, busy as it is ensuring that Tejashwi Yadav occupies the top post as soon as possible. The CM is looking helpless”.

RJD to contest 6 seats in Nagaland Assembly polls

[ad_1]
Patna: RJD will contest six seats in Nagaland where Assembly polls are scheduled to be held in February.
Confirming the development, Party national general secretary Shyam Rajak said that six names have been finalized. However, the names are yet to be announced officially.
Some BJP leaders will soon meet Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav in this regard. Tejashwi Yadav’s decision would be final.
“If this works out, we will contest for some more seats,” Rajak said.
The election to the 60 seats of Nagaland is scheduled to take place on February 27. The last date for submitting the nomination paper is February 7.
Earlier, RJD sent two leaders Kumar Sharvajeet, the cabinet minister in the Bihar government, and Bhola Yadav to Nagaland.
“They have submitted their observation report before Tejashwi Yadav. Now, another team will be visiting the state soon and submitting its report for further planning,” he said.
Reacting to collaboration with JD(U) in Nagaland, Rajak said that the party has an alliance in Bihar but not in Nagaland so far.
