Singh is the Member of Parliament from the Begusarai parliamentary constituency in the 17th Lok Sabha. This time he defeated Kanhaiya Kumar of the JNU fame from there.
The victim was the BJP President of Amraur panchayat unit, and his murder has created tension in the area.
Begusarai is one of the 40 Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar. The district lies on the northern bank of river Ganga. Begusarai had traditionally been a communist stronghold and was once referred to as the "Leningrad of Bihar".
This photo from Begusarai is a shining example of India's democracy. And this time, it is not about Kanhaiya Kumar or Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Giriraj Singh or for that matter Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) Tanweer Hasan.
Indirectly, Giriraj Singh also attacked Kanhaiya Kumar and his Communist Party of India.
