Sinha Accuses RJD of ‘Booth Capturing’ and Intimidation

Speaking after the incident, Deputy CM Sinha accused RJD supporters of resorting to intimidation tactics. “The mindset of RJD people is still that of booth capturing, but the public, the voters are the masters,” he said, adding that “RJD and Congress are symbols of anarchy and do not shy away from booth capturing.”

Sinha alleged that RJD “goons” prevented his polling agents from entering certain booths in Khoriari village. “They turned away my polling agent and did not let him vote. Look at their hooliganism. These are the goons of RJD. The NDA is coming to power, and that is why they are behaving like this,” he told reporters, referring specifically to booths numbered 404 and 405.
