On November 17 (Tuesday), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the NDA government in Bihar and accused the Nitish Kumar dispensation of "hiding" the incident for "electoral gains".
Along with his tweet attacking the state government, Gandhi tagged a media report which claimed that the incident of burning alive a young woman in Vaishali was kept under wraps as elections were on, PTI reported. The woman died after fighting for life at a hospital for 15 days, PTI added.
"Whose crime is more dangerous? Who did this inhuman act or the one who hid it for electoral gains so as to lay the foundation of his false 'good governance' over this 'misrule'?" Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
