Gopal Singh was reportedly sleeping outside his house when the miscreants choked him and killed him by hitting him with iron rods. Begusarai police have called it murder and said that the matter would be investigated.

BJP leader Giriraj Singh had retained the Begusarai seat for BJP after trouncing CPI’s Kanhaiya Kumar by a staggering margin of over 4 lakh votes in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.

However, this is not the first post-poll incident where BJP leader has faced the opposition’ ire. Even after the elections are over the BJP workers and supporters continue to pay the price.

After Smriti Irani defeated the Gandhi family scion and Congress President Rahul Gandhi in Amethi her close aide and newly-elected Lok Sabha Member of Parliament, Surendra Singh was brutally shot dead by unidentified assailants in her constituency of Amethi. His son had suspected involvement of some Congress supporters in the incident.

We had earlier reported how since May 23, the day of poll results, almost 9 BJP workers and supporters have been brutally killed and dozens attacked and injured simply because they worked for the BJP.

However, despite such extremities, it is the undying support of these workers which has paved the path of success for the Modi government, which is all set to undertake its second consecutive term after securing a majority on its own by securing 303 seats and propelling NDA alliance to a final tally of 353 seats in Lower House.
