BJP MLA from Bihar’s Baikunthpur, Mithilesh Tiwari, was attacked by 50 bike-borne men late Monday in Gopalganj. The men also vandalised his car. Tiwari staged a sit-in protest outside the police station alleging that attackers were supporters of independent candidate Manjeet Singh. He also said that the police were lackadaisical in action.
“There were reports that Independent candidate Manjeet Singh’s men are distributing money and sarees among people. I was talking to my workers about this when 50 bike-borne men – supporters of Manjeet Singh – came and attacked me. I’ll sit here until their arrest”: Tiwari said.
