BJP sponsored Bihar Bandh evokes mixed response; affects road, rail services

In Bihar, the day long bandh called by the BJP has evoked mixed response. The party called for the bandh on the break up of their 17 year old alliance with JDU. BJP workers are shouting slogan against the JDU government in the state. Shops and business establishments are closed. A tussle broke out between BJP and JD (U) supporters in capital Patna and several of them sustained injuries. National highways and railway lines are also disrupted at several places despite BJP's promise of not disrupting train services. Meanwhile a special session of the State Assembly will be held tomorrow where Chief Minister Mr. Nitish Kumar will seek vote of confidence. Hectic parleys are on for the tomorrow's assembly session.
