The commission’s reaction came shortly after Sinha’s car was allegedly attacked by people, who chanted ‘murdabad’ slogans and hurled slippers at the vehicle. They also threw cow dung on his car, and Sinha alleged that stones were also pelted.
He quickly blamed the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for the attack. “These are the goons of RJD. Satta mein aa rahi hai NDA isliye inke chhati pe bulldozer chalega (NDA is coming to power and they will face bulldozer action).”
He further alleged the “goons of RJD” were not letting him visit Khoriari village in his constituency, where the alleged attack took place.
