Patna/Begusarai: FIRs were lodged on Tuesday against BJP president Amit Shah and RJD chief Lalu Prasad for allegedly violating the election code ahead of the Bihar assembly polls.
While Amit Shah has been booked for his "chara chor" (fodder thief) barb against RJD President Lalu Prasad, Lalu is in trouble for his "Narbhakshi" (cannibal) remark as response to Shah's barb at him.
Additional Chief Election Officer R Lakshamanan told reporters that an FIR has been registered against Shah as his "chara chor" (fodder thief) was found to violate the model code of conduct.
Shah while addressing BJP workers at Singhaul in Begusarai district on September 30 had described Prasad as "chara chor". In an apparent dig at the RJD chief, he had said Bihar, which was once known by the name of Dr Rajendra Prasad, Loknayak Jayprakash Narayan and Karpoori Thakur, is unfortunately today known by the name of "chara chor."
Two separate FIRs were registered on Tuesday against RJD President Lalu Prasad for his "Narbhakshi" (cannibal) comment against BJP chief Amit Shah.
The RJD president had used "Narbhakshi" barb against Shah on October 1 in reaction to his "chara chor" (fodder thief) remark about him in Patna while talking to media persons.
The FIRs were registered at Patna and Jamui against Prasad for the remark which Election Commission found violative of Representation of People Act and IPC sections, Additional Chief Election Officer R Lakshamanan told reporters.
