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.
