Several other BJP leaders, who participated in the marching towards the Bihar Assembly, were lathicharged during the protest. The security personnel also used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the protesting workers.
Following the incident, BJP chief JP Nadda said, "The lathi-charge on BJP workers in Patna is a result of the failure and incompetence of the state government." "The Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government is attacking democracy in order to protect the fortress of corruption. The chief minister of Bihar has forgotten his own morality to save the person who is facing charges," Nadda tweeted.
