Bihar BJP president Samrat Choudhary on May 3 slammed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after being denied permission to meet party leader Jawahar Prasad in Sasaram jail of Rohtas district.
Mr. Prasad has been arrested in a case related to communal violence in Sasaram town last month following Ram Navami processions. The five-time former Sasaram MLA was denied a ticket in the 2020 Assembly election.
On Wednesday, Mr. Choudhary visited Sasaram jail to meet Mr. Prasad but prison authorities denied him permission. The BJP state chief, along with BJP workers, then rode a bicycle for 5 km to reach the Rohtas District Magistrate office, where a dharna was organised.
