PATNA: The BJP has slammed senior RJD chief and the birthday party’s Darbhanga nominee Abdul Bari Siddiqui over his controversial ‘Vande Mataram’ commentary, announcing this sort of statement from a pacesetter of Siddiqui’s stature was extremely condemnable.
A video clip has long past viral on social media by which Siddiqui is observed telling a tv information channel that he has no downside in chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, but reciting Vande Mataram was in opposition to his beliefs.
Vande Mataram means worship of motherland and in line with Muslim beliefs, they may be able to worship handiest Allah.
The BJP is prone to rake up the issue in Darbhanga, which will cross to the polls in the fourth section on April 29. Prime Minister Narendra Modi could also be scheduled to deal with an election rally at Darbhanga on Thursday.
“Siddiqui saheb is indubitably a tall chief. But his Vande Mataram commentary was unlucky. We will indubitably carry the issue all through electioneering,” a state BJP spokesman said on the condition of anonymity.
The RJD has, then again, played down the debate. “The BJP is attempting to vitiate the ballot surroundings by means of raising such issues. Moreover, we don’t consider in social media clips,” state RJD normal secretary Chittranjan Gagan said, including Siddiqui has already made his stand transparent on the factor.
Siddiqui is locked in an instantaneous battle with BJP’s Gopaljee Thakur in Darbhanga.
“The PM’s address will galvanise the birthday party workers in Darbhanga and give Thakur an advantage over Siddiqui,” a senior BJP chief said.
Sitting MP Kirti Jha Azad, who received the seat in 2004, 2009 and 2014 as BJP nominee, had recently joined the Congress, which has fielded him from Dhanbad in Jharkhand. RJD’s M A Fatmi had represented the seat in the Lok Sabha 4 occasions – 1991, 1996, 1998 and 1999.
However, after the RJD denied price ticket to Fatmi this time and declared Siddiqui as its Darbhanga candidate, the former filed his nomination papers from the neighbouring Madhubani seat as an impartial, handiest to withdraw his papers on Monday.
“Fatmi withdrew his papers under common drive. He didn't to find any give a boost to in Madhubani,” Gagan said.
