Bihar elections: Chopper mobbed, RJD says not enough security for Tejashwi, writes to EC

एक तरफ बिहार पुलिस अपने राजनीतिक आकाओं को खुश करने लिए बेकसूर नागरिकों पर मुंगेर में गोली चलाने में तनिक भी देर नहीं करती है!

तो दूसरी ओर नेता प्रतिपक्ष @yadavtejashwi जी के लिए इतनी लचर सुरक्षा व्यवस्था का इंतजाम करती है कि कोई भी बड़ी आसानी से हेलीकॉप्टर तक पहुँच सकता है! pic.twitter.com/4WhImYMs5U

RJD leader and Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha released on Twitter a letter he wrote to the Election Commission and Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar on October 21, seeking they look into the “inadequate security arrangements” at the “dais or space around helipad” for Tejashwi.

Dear @CEOBihar @ECISVEEP ..In spite of repeated requests, we find highly inadequate security arrangements 4 @yadavtejashwi in hia meetings as well as at #Helipads as a result of which anti-social elements cause immense trouble&ugly scenes. Please look into it pic.twitter.com/ozxfrOJGew

Jha said even the pilot of the RJD leader’s helicopter had complained of “pathetic crowd management”, and lack of police personnel. Jha said there had been no action “in spite of repeated requests”, as a result of which “anti-social elements cause immense trouble and ugly scenes”.

Sanjay Yadav, political adviser of Tejashwi, posted a video of crowds mobbing the RJD leader’s helicopter, pressing against it. “Despite repeated requests to @ECISVEEP (Election Commission), situation remains the same. It appears to be a deliberate attempt to jeopardise campaign and is a threat to his life.”
