Nitish Kumar government in Bihar on Saturday rolled out the red carpet for JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar who is on his first visit to his home state after release from jail on charge of sedition.
Kanhaiya was escorted by the policemen at the airport on his arrival from New Delhi and the JNUSU president moved with a convoy of security personnel in the capital. Kanhaiya hails from Begusarai district of Bihar.
He is on a two-day tour of his home state and met both Nitish Kumar and RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav.
The two leaders had supported him when he was sent to Tihar jail on sedition charge and the JNUSU president met them at their residences.
The high-profile welcome to JNUSU president triggered reaction from political parties.
Questioning the welcome accorded by the Nitish Kumar government to a person charged with sedition, opposition BJP said it was a day of shame for the state.
