Bihar Budget Session Live: BJP MLA Mithilesh Tiwari said- Opposition is having trouble with Brahmins.
RJD MLA Alok Mehta said that the mentality of casteist people is clearly visible. He said that MLA Sandeep Saurabh did not take the name of any caste. He took the name of Brahminism. Brahminism is not a caste. As far as caste is concerned, backward and Dalit are being talked about. He took a dig at Vijay Sinha and said that by using such words he is telling what kind of mentality he has. Those who have done wrong are feeling chilly. After this, BJP MLA Mithilesh Tiwari said that the people of the opposition do not understand Brahminism. But, they have a lot of trouble with Brahmins. The Brahmin whom Lord Krishna, the Lord of the three worlds, worships with his tears. Without a Brahmin neither marriage nor Shraddha takes place. The Brahmin who built Kasi Hindu University by begging. Today they are facing problems with Brahmins.
