PTI, PATNA: As RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived here on a four-day Bihar visit, opposition RJD-Congress alliance accused him of creating communal tension in the state even as the ruling BJP-JD(U) alliance leaders countered the allegations as “vote bank politics”.
Bhagwat arrived in the Bihar capital by air this afternoon and drove straight to the RSS office in the city’s Rajendra Nagar area from where he was scheduled to leave for Nawada, about 120 kms from Patna.
Bhagwat will attend RSS’s Shiksha Varg programme in Nawada, during which he will interact with students from various educational institutions in the age group of 15-25, and apprise them about the activities of the Sangh, a senior functionary said.
He is scheduled to return to Patna on May 25.
Commenting on the visit, RJD spokesperson and MLA Ejya Yadav alleged Bhagwat heads an organisation involved in many communal riots and swords were distributed among rioters during his last visit to the state and it remains to be seen whether he was planning to get “guns and tanks” supplied to this cadre this time.
