Meanwhile, National President of Janashakti Janata Dal Tej Pratap Yadav has raised questions on the police action. He alleged that this was a conspiracy by the government. Our candidate Veena Manvi has been deliberately implicated. He also has popularity in the area. A conspiracy is being hatched against him. The manner in which arrest warrants were issued on the day of nomination is wrong. The public is seeing that injustice is being done to women. When injustice is done to women, Lord Krishna’s Sudarshan Chakra comes into play. The people of Bihar will see and now my Sudarshan will continue. I, our party and the public stand strongly with Veena Manvi.
