BJP accuses JD(U) of upending its EBC outreach, threatens stir

The opposition BJP in Bihar has accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), an ally turned adversary, of sabotaging its plans to celebrate the birth anniversary of legendary socialist leader Karpoori Thakur here later this week.

State BJP president Samrat Choudhary has threatened to stage a demonstration in front of the JD(U) office here on January 24, taking exception to the ruling party putting up tents at the Miller High School ground where the saffron party had sought administrative clearance for holding its event.

“The JD(U) is holding its own function at the veterinary college ground, which is a few kilometres away. Why does it then need another ground elsewhere for its workers coming from outside the state”, an indignant Choudhary asked
