North India Statesman
News India Live, Digital Desk: The hustle and bustle never subsides in the politics of Bihar, but this time the matter is directly linked to the ‘poster connection’ between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. A poster put up outside the state office of Janata Dal United (JDU) in Patna has been blackened by unknown people. After this incident, the political temperature in the capital has risen and the police administration is also on alert mode.
Anger erupted over Rajya Sabha nomination?
It is believed that this incident is the result of resentment related to Rajya Sabha nomination. According to sources, some groups or workers are not satisfied with the recent decisions taken by Nitish Kumar’s party for Rajya Sabha. To show this dissatisfaction, opponents or angry workers targeted posters with PM Modi’s face.
Security increased outside JDU office
As soon as information about the incident was received, senior JDU leaders and workers reached the spot. There is huge anger within the party after seeing soot on the poster. Activists say that this could be a conspiracy by opposition parties or an attempt to tarnish the image of the alliance. At present, tight security arrangements have been made and nearby CCTV footage is being scrutinized so that the culprits can be identified.
Tension may increase in Bihar NDA!
Political experts believe that BJP will not take the incident of blackening of PM Modi’s poster lightly. Although this happened outside the JDU office, the message goes straight to Delhi. Whether this is just a personal resentment or there is some deep political conspiracy behind it, it will become clear only after investigation. At present, the opposition parties are not shying away from taking a dig on this issue.
