Now, BJP wants President's rule in Bihar

May 10, 2016 17:28

Citing the alleged rise in crime and political murders in Bihar since the Grand Alliance of JD(U), RJD and Congress came to power, BJP members in Lok Sabha on Monday demanded the imposition of President's Rule in the state.

The demand came after a Class XII student was murdered in Gaya Saturday, allegedly by the son of JD(U) MLC.

The issue was raised by Janardan Singh Sigriwal and Ashwini Kumar Choubey of BJP and Rajesh Ranjan, who was elected on an RJD ticket but has been expelled from the party. Sigriwal spoke of a number of criminal incidents where those associated to the ruling alliance in Bihar were allegedly involved.
