General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajiv Pratap Rudy on Tuesday accused the Janata Dal (United) protesters of molesting women minority cell workers of the BJP in Patna.

Rudy said that Nitish Kumar had sent JD (U) workers to the BJP office to demonstrate which resulted in violence. "How do the JD (U) workers come few kilometers away to the BJP office is for Nitish Kumar to answer," Rudy said.

Rudy said that there is a growing frustration in Nitish Kumar as he is fully aware that " Narendra Modi is there to come, he is there in Bihar, in every street, in every village and every part of the state of Bihar."

The BJP had given a call for shutdown after JD (U) snapped ties with it following the nomination of Narendra Modi to lead its election campaign for the upcoming 2014 parliamentary elections. Both the JD (U) and BJP leaders blamed each other for the violence
