Amit Shah in Bihar Today: Blame Game Over Cancellation of Sasaram Event; HM to Address Rally in Hisua

Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Patna was marred by a political blame game between the BJP and the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar. On Saturday, Amit Shah’s public rally in Sasaram was cancelled after there were ‘rumours’ of Section 144 in the city. While the administration denied the implementation of Section 144, the BJP alleged that the Nitish Kumar government tried to deliberately stop Amit Shah’s rally.

Home minister will still be addressing a public gathering at Hisua in Nawada district on Sunday.

Prohibitory orders were in place following communal tension during Ram Navami festivities at Sasaram and Nalanda on 31st March

Speaking to reporters, CM Nitish Kumar indirectly attacked the BJP and alleged that some from the saffron party were behind the violence. He ensured a thorough probe into the incidents.

On Saturday, a BJP delegation led by president Samrat Choudhary met the governor and handed over a memorandum for the violence during Shobha yatras in the two districts.
