Patna (Bihar) [India], March 25 (ANI): Former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD leader, Rabri Devi, along with other RJD leaders, staged a protest outside the Bihar Vidhan Sabha on Tuesday, demanding 65% reservations for OBCs in the state.
The protestors raised slogans, including calling Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar an "Aarakshan Chor," as they pressed for their demands.
Speaking to the media, Rabri Devi explained the reason for the protest, saying, "We are doing this protest for reservation. Nitish Kumar has passed this through the cabinet. We are seeking to include it in the Scheduled Castes list. This is why we are making a demand."
Earlier, posters targeting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's stand on the Waqf Ammendment bill and NRC were spotted outside the residence of former CM and RJD leader Rabri Devi on Tuesday.
The poster read, "tum toh dhokebhaaz ho vaada karke (You are a betrayer, making promises), NRC par hum tumhare sath nahi, Waqf par toh bilkul sath nahi (but on NRC we are not with you, and on Waqf, we are definitely not with you)."
"Vote lenge tumhara, lekin sath nahi denge (We will take your vote, but we will not support you)," the poster further read.
Earlier, a few more posters were seen outside the residence of RJD leader Rabri Devi amid the National Anthem controversy surrounding Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The poster read, "The non-serious Chief Minister, Jan Jan Man Adhinayan Jay Hai, Nahi Kursi Kursi Kursi Kursi Jay Hai."
RJD leader Rabri Devi also accused Bihar's chief Minister of insulting women, and disrespecting Mahatma Gandhi and the national anthem in a post that read, "Nayak nahi khalnayak hoon main (not a hero, I am a villain).
This attack on the Bihar CM comes after a purported video of Nitish Kumar surfaced, showing the Bihar Chief Minister talking and gesturing while the national anthem was played during a function in Patna. (ANI)
