BJP president JP Nadda took to Twitter to say, “The lathi-charge on BJP workers in Patna is a result of the failure and incompetence of the state government.”

“The Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government is attacking democracy in order to protect the fortress of corruption. The chief minister of Bihar has forgotten his own morality to save the person who is facing charges,” Nadda tweeted in Hindi.

भाजपा कार्यकर्ताओं पर पटना में हुआ लाठीचार्ज राज्य सरकार की विफलता और बौखलाहट का नतीजा है। महागठबंधन की सरकार भ्रष्टाचार के क़िले को बचाने के लिए लोकतंत्र पर हमला कर रही है।जिस व्यक्ति पर चार्जशीट हुई है, उसको बचाने के लिए बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री अपनी नैतिकता तक भूल गये हैं।
