Patna:
Images of actor Sushant Singh Rajput on posters, banners, stickers and masks released by the BJP in Bihar before the elections have sparked protests from opposition parties.
Stickers and masks affixed by BJP’s “Kala Sanskriti Manch” cultural cell feature Sushant Singh Rajput, whose death on June 14 and subsequent investigations have captivated the nation, and the message: “Na bhoole hain, na bhulne denge (We have not forgotten and will not let anyone forget) “.
The message was seen to underline the role of the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government in pushing for a CBI investigation into the death of the Bollywood actor, who was from Bihar, and “ensuring that a promising young son of the state” gets justice.
Varun Kumar Singh, state coordinator of the BJP Kala Sanskriti Manch, told the ANI news agency that 30,000 stickers and posters and 30,000 face masks have been printed so far. “We have been using them as a sign of a movement to seek justice for the late actor who died in Mumbai,” Singh said.
“It is not a political issue, but a matter close to my heart. We had demanded an investigation by the IWC to investigate the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. He had even sent letters to ministers demanding justice for him (Sushant). We started this movement on June 16. He was an artist and so was I, “he said.
The opposition RJD and Congress have accused the BJP of exploiting the Sushant Singh Rajput case for its political agenda. “Nitish Kumar and BJP have no answers for the flood and administrative failures. To divert people’s attention, they only have the case of Sushant and Rhea,” said Congressional spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala.
Bihar BJP spokesperson Nikhil Anand said: “BJP Kala Sanskriti Manch has been working for the welfare of artists. They are paying tribute to Sushant Singh Rajput and want justice. It was never a political step, it was done in solidarity.” .
Rajeev Ranjan of Nitish Kumar JDU said the move cannot be linked to the elections as the election dates for Bihar have not yet been announced. “Since the election dates have not yet been revealed, the death of the actor (Sushant) cannot be linked to the upcoming elections in Bihar,” Ranjan said, adding: “Instigating someone to commit suicide is grounds for concern”.
He purposely added: “The Maharashtra government was controlling the state police.”
Investigations into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in Mumbai on June 14 saw a turf war between the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra and the JDU-BJP government in Bihar.
The Bihar government plunged into the case almost a month after his death after the actor’s father filed a complaint accusing Sushant Singh Rajput’s friend Rhea Chakraborty and her family of mentally harassing him, exploiting him for money and taking him away. to the death.
Bihar submitted the case to the CBI. After Rhea Chakraborty sought to have all investigations handled by the Mumbai Police, the Supreme Court decided in favor of the IWC taking over the investigation, which was seen by the Bihar government as a victory.
