Patna/Ahmedabad: In a sensational allegation against its former ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the ruling Janata Dal-United or JD(U) on Monday made that the serial blasts in Bodhgaya and the death of 23 students in the Chapra midday meal tragedy had a Gujarat link.
 
The Opposition had not only conspired in the tragic deaths in the lunch scheme run in government schools across the country, but even the timers used in Bodhgaya blasts were found procured from BJP-ruled Gujarat,” JD-Us Manjeet Singh told the Bihar Assembly during a debate on the adjournment motion over mid-day meal case.
 
The National Investigation Agency, which has been probing the July 7 Bodhgaya terror attack case, had said that the timer used in the bombs planted at the Mahabodhi Temple were manufactured in Gujarat and the devices were brought to the Bihar town from Guwahati.
 
The BJP, however, failed to point out to the MLA that the timers used in Bodhgaya blasts were part of digital wall clocks, which is dominated by brands from Gujarat’s Rajkot district.
 
Manjeet Singh even said that it should be investigated whether the pesticide found in the meals, which claimed 23 lives, was also made in Gujara.
 
The opposition parties, including the BJP, created a ruckus in the House demanding discussion on the July 16 Chhapra tragedy leading to disruptions in its proceeding.
