Protests in Patna



A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader lost his life during a clash between protesters and the Patna Police in Patna, Bihar. The protests were ignited by the alleged mismanagement of teacher placements in the state. The deceased BJP leader, identified as Vijay Kumar Singh, succumbed to his injuries at Dakbangla Chauraha, where the demonstrations were taking place.

 

After being severely injured, Singh was rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, he was declared dead upon arrival. The news was confirmed by Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Modi, who expressed his condolences on Twitter.

 

The BJP leaders, who were participating in a 'Vidhan Sabha March,' were subjected to a lathi-charge by security personnel. Additionally, water cannons and tear gas were deployed to disperse the agitated BJP workers.

Reacting to the incident, BJP Chief JP Nadda took to Twitter, attributing the clash to the ineffectiveness and incompetence of the state government. Nadda accused the ruling Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government of undermining democracy to protect corrupt individuals. He further criticized the Chief Minister of Bihar, alleging that he had forsaken his moral obligations to shield someone facing charges.

 

Sushil Modi, a prominent BJP leader, also strongly condemned Bihar CM Nitish Kumar for the death of their party member, holding him responsible for the tragic outcome. Modi expressed deep sorrow over the incident and announced their intention to file murder charges against the police involved.

Meanwhile, the Bihar Education Department issued an order imposing a one-week ban on leaves for education department officials. This step is presumably aimed at ensuring uninterrupted operations and addressing the ongoing concerns regarding teacher placements.

 

The situation in Patna remains tense as investigations into the incident unfold. The loss of life during the protests has further escalated the political tension in the region, casting a shadow over the state government's ability to maintain law and order effectively.
