Bihar: Tensions flared in the Badh assembly constituency on Wednesday as Mahagathbandhan candidate Karnveer Singh Yadav, popularly known as Lallu Mukhia, came under attack during a public outreach campaign.
Eyewitnesses reported that unidentified individuals threw stones at Mukhia’s supporters while he was canvassing in Berhna village, creating panic among locals and campaigners. One supporter, Mithilesh Yadav, sustained minor injuries in the incident. Police confirmed they had been alerted and were investigating, though no formal complaint has yet been filed.
Addressing the crowd afterward, Mukhia appealed for calm, saying, “The people are our masters. Even if they slap us, we will not retaliate. We must remain organised and focus on the upcoming voting.” He urged all supporters to avoid confrontations with other candidates and to maintain discipline during the campaign.
The attack underscores the growing intensity of political rivalries in Bihar as the assembly elections approach. Despite the incident, Mukhia and his team continued their outreach in a controlled manner, with local residents assisting in maintaining order.
