He added, "That doesn’t mean it’s not a crime. Even a single such incident is a matter of concern — and it is a matter of concern for our government as well. I can assure you this much: whoever is found guilty will not be spared. The strictest possible action will be taken against every culprit."

When pressure mounted and Tejashwi Yadav kept raising questions, the government, in an attempt to save itself from embarrassment, took such actions merely for show. It clearly reflects how law and order in Bihar have completely collapsed. As the Prime Minister visits Bihar, he should tell us - what should this state now be called? The people of Bihar are preparing to bring Tejashwi Yadav's government to power,” PTI quoted RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay as saying.

“The candidates of NDA will benefit a lot with the visit of PM Modi in Bihar and our winning margin is increasing continously,” Keshav said, according to ANI.
