JD(U) dissident leader Upendra Kushwaha, who recently raised the flag of rebellion against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, alleged that his car was pelted with stones in the state’s Bhojpur district.
Kushwaha, who is a member of the state Legislative Council, made the allegation on Monday on his official Twitter handle tagging Kumar and the Bihar Police.
“Some anti-social elements attacked my car at Nayak Tola, Jagdishpur (Bhojpur). Kushwaha tweeted in Hindi, when the security personnel tried to chase him, he fled.
The district police said it is probing the matter and trying to identify the culprits. No one was reported injured in the incident.
On his return to the state capital, Kushwaha claimed that he had no information about the identity and motives of the attackers.
The former Union minister has been infuriated ever since Kumar quashed speculations of inducting him as deputy CM, making it clear that only RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav would hold the post.
Kushwaha, who returned in 2021 after merging his Rashtriya Lok Samata Party with the JD(U), has since been demanding that the terms of the alleged deal struck with the RJD be made public when they forged an alliance in August last year.
