PATNA: A day after Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav slammed BJP MLA Haribhushan Thakur Bachual over his Holi remark and questioned his authority in issuing such direction, the latter took a swipe at the RJD leader, saying "unlike his father, my father was not convicted and jailed".
Bachaul, the BJP MLA from the Bipsi Assembly constituency in Madhubani district on Monday said that Muslims should stay indoors on Holi to avoid being coloured, sparking controversy. He added that if they wish to come out, they should do so with a "big heart."
Bihar's political landscape has heated up following Bachaul's remark regarding Holi celebrations.
