Punia demands action against Giriraj Singh for casteist remark
Singh had reportedly said that the next Chief Minister of Bihar, where elections would begin in October, would be an OBC or a Dalit, and not an upper caste member.

Vadodara: Chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes PL Punia on Wednesday demanded that a police case be registered against Union minister Giriraj Singh over his reported remarks that the next Bihar Chief Minister would from OBC or Dalit communities, and not from upper castes.

Singh had reportedly said that the next Chief Minister of Bihar, where elections would begin in October, would be an OBC or a Dalit, and not an upper caste member.

"If FIR could be registered against RJD chief Lalu Prasad for provoking caste feelings during a speech in Raghopur in Bihar from where his son Tejaswi is contesting, then why no FIR can be registered against Singh for the same reason?" Punia, a Rajya Sabha member, said.

What's your reaction?
