Patna: Bihar BJP on Thursday removed posters featuring deputy chief minister Samrat Choudhary as the next CM of the state and asserted that it was not aware who erected it outside the state party.
Alongside a photograph of Samrat Choudhary, the poster bore the slogan: "This is the call of the Valmiki Samaj Sangh: Let there be a Samrat government in Bihar. We have extended every possible support to the BJP; let the contract system be abolished under your administration."
The posters were erected prior to Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's departure for Delhi. Shortly after being displayed outside the BJP office, security guards deputed at the state party office removed the poster.
