A week ago, Singh had sparked controversy after remarks on Goddess Saraswati. Hindu Shiv Bhavani Sena’s posters came up at Bir Chand Patel Path, announcing the reward for “chopping off the tongue” of the RJD MLA.
Singh made the comments at a function in Aurangabad and later to reporters a week ago. He refused to withdraw his statements.
BJP spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said, “We sense somehow the INDI alliance had been formed to oppose Sanatan. Fateh Bahadur Singh’s remarks on Hindu deities and religious texts look just part of this design… RJD and other Opposition parties should be ready for backlash for hurting popular Hindu sentiments.”
