PATNA: At least four persons, including a woman, were injured in a clash between the supporters of BJP and RJD at village Agaya under Goriakothi police station area in Siwan on Wednesday morning.
The incident took place when one RJD supporter, Krishna Kushwaha, allegedly accused a few supporters of BJP’s MLA-elect Devesh Kant Singh of rigging election to win.

Sources said they first had heated arguments. Later, Krishna’s supporters also reached there and both sides clashed by using lathis, sticks and stones.
Agaya panchayat mukhiya Kamlavati Devi told TOI over phone that a woman from Krishna’s side had received head injury while three BJP supporters were also injured. “Later, two police vehicles reached the village. Both sides used rods and stones in the clash,” she said.
The mukhiya said she had got to know that some youths were returning from fields after attending the nature’s call in the morning when Krishna accused them of rigging the polls. “Krishna is a supporter of RJD’s Nutan Devi,” she said.
Devesh has won from Goriakothi assembly seat. He garnered 87,192 votes against RJD’s Nutan, who got 75,477 votes.
Maharajganj SDPO Polust Kumar said the clash was a result of personal enmity. “There was no evidence to suggest that they clashed due to separate political affiliations. There was no written complaint from either side to lodge an FIR, he added.
