Union Minister Ashwini Choubey, who has been consistently raising farmers' issues in Baxuar, staged a protest against the Nitish government by beating a steel plate.
The minister tweeted a video clip on Wednesday in which he is seen beating the dish and raising anti-government slogans.
"The problem of the farmers in Buxar was not resolved. Chief Minister Nitish Babu came...and left after having a picnic. There is an atmosphere of chaos in the government of JDU-RJD-Congress and other supporting parties in Bihar. Today, I symbolically exposed the failures of the Bihar government with the workers by banging the plate," he tweeted with a video clip.
Earlier, Choubey on Monday broke down during a press conference held in Patna. While condoling the demise of BJP leader Parasuram Chaturvedi, who was on hunger strike in Buxar for several days demanding fair price and compensation for his land, he couldn't control his tears.
Farmers have been protesting in Buxar against a power company for revised compensation for their pieces of land. Recently Bihar police lathicharged protesting farmers which intensified the ongoing protests.
"Chaturvedi made sacrifices for farmers. He was on a hunger strike for days. I'm very upset,” an emotional Chaubey said.
"While I was holding a press conference in Patna, I received the sad news of the demise of a former BJP candidate from Buxar, my younger brother Parshuram Chaturvedi. Tears came out of my eyes. Saddened by the demise. He was carrying out Aakrosh Yatra for the demand of farmers in Buxar," he tweeted.
