During a press convention on Monday, Minister of State (MoS) Ashwini Choubey was seen crying as he addressed the demise of fellow BJP chief Parshuram Chaturvedi, who he claimed had handed away due to a starvation strike in help of farmers-related points.

According to Choubey, Chaturvedi had accompanied him in the starvation strike for 3 days, however due to biting chilly he died of a coronary heart assault. “I simply acquired information that my youthful brother Parshuram Chaturvedi, who accompanied me in the starvation strike in help of farmers-related points for the final three days in biting chilly, died of a coronary heart assault,” the Union Minister said sobbing heavily in a press conference.

Parshuram Chaturvedi was a member of the BJP Kisan Morcha National Working Committee and died in Buxar. During the press conference, Choubey also alleged that there were attempts to attack him twice in the last 24 hours in Buxar.

“During my programme in Buxar, against the atrocities on farmers, some goons, just five to six feet away from me, came swinging their sticks in the air in an attempt to attack me, but my bodyguards and the police personnel caught three persons and saved me. If they hadn’t caught them, I don’t know what would have happened then,” an ANI report quoted him as saying.

“Not solely this, one individual ran away with a country-made pistol wading via the police personnel, who had been current in the road of responsibility. The police remained mute spectators,” he added.

According to Choubey, a written application was submitted to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, and all the office bearers about the incident.

“When those policemen and the activists present there took those goons to the police station, surprisingly, to give protection to them, the police DSP told our workers and PA that no problem, the minister is doing his work and the goons are doing their job. It is unfortunate to hear something like this from the Bihar DSP,” he mentioned.

He added that the three individuals caught for attacking him had been later launched after being pressurised by some influential individuals.

“I would like to ask Nitish Kumar, why the criminals who had been introduced to the police station haven’t been arrested but,” he said, adding that he wants to ask under whose pressure they were released.
