Nitish government is making Dalits and OBCs scapegoats in Sasaram and Nalanda riots

Reacting to the arrest of former BJP MLA Jawahar Prasad in the Sasaram riot case, National General Secretary of BJP OBC Morcha and Bihar BJP Spokesperson Dr. Nikhil Anand said that the communal violence and riot in Sasaram was completely directed and sponsored by the state government. The BJP was going to celebrate Emperor Ashoka’s birth anniversary in Sasaram, in which Home Minister Amit Shah was the chief guest, Nitish Kumar tried to stop it by making it a question of his personal reputation.

  Nikhil Anand said that the Nitish government is making Dalits and OBCs the scapegoats. Nitish Kumar is promoting the politics of Muslim appeasement by declaring the victims of Sasaram and Nalanda riots as accused. Nikhil claimed that those killed in the state-sponsored riots of Nalanda and Sasaram belonged to the OBC community, while those who fled the city in fear after the riots belonged to the Dalit, EBC and OBC communities. And now it is clear that the Nitish government wants to make backward and extremely backward leaders scapegoats in this matter.

  Nikhil Anand said that BJP leader Jawahar Prasad ji is a nationalist leader of a backward society who has represented the Sasaram Assembly for 5 times. Nitish government wants to register Jawahar ji and other backward-most backward community leaders as criminals. To do the politics of Muslim appeasement, the Bihar government is resorting to such a low level. Even in CM Nitish’s hometown Nalanda, during the riots, a person was killed who belongs to the OBC Kushwaha community. CM Nitish has completely made up his mind to play anti-Dalit, backward and ultra-backward politics. Nitish Kumar will be given a befitting reply by the people of Bihar and the BJP in the coming days.
