Patna: Janata Dal (United) critsize the BJP step on cancellation of Bakrid holiday in Rajasthan and said that BJP is pursuing the politics of polarisation. Party leader Ali Anwar on Tuesday accused the BJP said its playing the cheap type of politics.
“The BJP Government in Rajasthan does these activities so that there are debates on television and people respond. Their politics of polarisation continues, especially, when there is an election,” Anwar said.

Anwar predicted that the BJP would face a huge defeat in the Bihar assembly polls.
The BJP -led government in Rajasthan plans to celebrate September 25 as the birth anniversary of Jan Sangh ideologue Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay.
It has directed all colleges and schools to organise blood donation camps. This celebration is likely to coincide with Bakrid which falls either on September 24 or 25, depending on the citing of the moon.
Another leader K.C. Tyagi commenting on the decision of the Rajasthan Government to cancel the holiday of Bakrid, Tyagi said the festival is a well known one, and no government should be taking such a step.
The BJP-ruled Rajasthan Government has ordered schools and colleges to organise blood donation camps on September 25, which is the birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, an icon of the BJP and the ideological mentor of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
“This is an alliance of jealous people. They are afraid of Nitish Kumar’s popularity, but this alliance is without any match. Bihar has got polarised, only a referendum is left in Bihar,” Tyagi said
