Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha alleged that his convoy was attacked by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supporters in his assembly constituency of Lakhisarai.
He also charged the local administration of inaction after his complaint. Sinha alleged that slippers and cow dung were flung at his convoy and stones were also thrown.
Sinha, who spoke to journalists said the incident was "proof that once in power, the RJD would usher in jungle raj in the state".
"The RJD workers were trying to capture a polling booth. We will complain to the Election Commission," said Sinha.
A video circulating of the incident reportedly shows supporters of the RJD surrounding the Deputy CM, hurling slippers, and chanting anti-Sinha slogans ("Murdabad").
Sinha accused the attackers of being "goons of RJD," directly attributing the hooliganism to the opposition party's supporters. He claimed the attackers prevented him from visiting the village and alleged they had also turned away his polling agent, preventing him from voting at booth numbers 404 and 405.
