Patna: Political mercury has risen in Bihar as well after the statements of leaders regarding Mahant Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham. Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Yadav and environment minister in Bihar government, has announced to oppose Pandit Dhirendra Shastri's visit to the state and to surround him at Patna airport itself upon his arrival. On the other hand, BJP MP and former Deputy CM Sushil Modi has hit back at the RJD over the presiding deity of Bageshwar Dham. Sushil Modi has asked that when AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi, who gave provocative speeches, is allowed to come to Bihar, then why is a non-political person like Sant Dhirendra Shastri being opposed? Sushil Modi has said that if the Grand Alliance government makes the mistake of trying to stop Dhirendra Shastri's program to please its vote bank, it will have to pay a heavy price. Sushil Modi said that the followers of sages and saints are more than politicians. If Lalu Yadav stands up today, ten thousand people will gather and 2 lakh people will stand behind Baba Bageshwar just like that. Sushil Modi said that this type of statement against Hindu saints is not right and RJD people should not make this mistake. Let us inform that Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of former CM Lalu, had said that if Bageshwar Baba is coming to fight Hindu-Muslim, I will oppose him. I will surround them at the airport itself. After this, RJD state president Jagdanand Singh said that whoever has the mind, he becomes Baba. Such people should be put in jail. He said that such people do the work of spreading hysteria.
