Giriraj sparks a fresh row

“These kind of things are there in BJP and Sangh's ideology. Their entire politics is this. Giriraj Singh is just a symptom of the poison in the body...in the family (Parivar),” said JD(U) leader Ali Anwar.  

NCP leader Tariq Anwar said, “They (BJP) do not know that in 120 districts of the country, there is a Maoist movement going on...who are in them I would like to know from them.  

They should not talk like this. Alleging such things on a particular religion or caste is wrong,” he said.  Manoj Kumar Jha of RJD said people like Giriraj are out to damage the very social fabric of India.

“They do not understand terrorism. They do not have any idea about history of India, different communities and how they have lived with each other in such beautiful terms so far.  

“People like him should be “disenfranchised” and parties like BJP should seriously consider that if they wish to govern India, they must check these kind of people,” he said.
