Hitting out at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Wednesday lashed at the RJD leader for his alleged sympathy towards "infiltrators and Rohingyas" and accused the Opposition of being "vote-bank traders" who have no faith in Hindu votes.
"There is so much love for infiltrators and Rohingyas, but none for those who harass the daughters and women of Hindus. Both the father-son duo (Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi) are frustrated. For them, secularism means speaking for Muslims and securing their votes — this is their version of secularism," said the Union Minister.
The BJP leader also spoke about his six-day yatra, saying, "Not a single riot occurred during my journey, but this father-son duo wants to incite riots. I don't know what they want to achieve with their 'university' talk. If they had said that any people tried to harm the people of Bihar, then we will retaliate very strongly, then it would have been understood. But when it comes to Bangladeshi infiltrators, they talk about taking action, but for the rest, they don't say a thing."
He concluded by saying, "For them, secularism is all about speaking for Muslims and gaining their votes — this is the agenda of people like Akhilesh Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav."
Earlier, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav posted, "Today, an inflammatory statement was given by a BJP MP to spoil the atmosphere in Bihar and today itself Nitish Kumar provided additional security to that MP. Everyone has contributed to the fragrance of the soil of this country and everyone has contributed to the freedom struggle."
"I give you the assurance that as long as I am alive, I will stand firmly against those who try to throw Bihar into the fire of communalism and destroy those who look at Muslims with evil eyes," he added.
