Patna (Bihar): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday demanded strict action against those held responsible for horse-trading.
“I request the new government to take strict action against those who were held responsible for all the ruckus that has been created since the election. It will be learning lesson for all,” Tejashwi said to media here.
Further lashing out at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Tejashwi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah are held responsible for the political drama.
Meanwhile, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan took to Twitter and expressed his happiness saying “proud to congratulate the legitimate Chief Minister of Karnataka”.
“Welcome to Democracy Sir. I am proud to congratulate the legitimate Chief Minister of Karnataka. Glad I waited” (sic)
