Patna: Calling the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) victory in the Bihar Assembly bypolls a win for the “Jinnah ideology”, Union Minister and senior BJP leader Giriraj Singh on Friday said the verdict posed a “threat to the social integrity” of the state.
“In the Bihar bypolls, the most dangerous election verdict has come out from Kishanganj. Owaisi’s party AIMIM has a Jinnah mindset. They hate ‘Vande Mataram’. They pose a threat to the social integrity of Bihar,” Singh tweeted.
AIMIM wrested the Kishnganj seat from Congress. Its candidate Kamarul Hoda defeated the BJP’s Sweety Singh by over 10,000 votes.
