BJP has expelled Gajender Jha, a member of party in Bihar who announced a bounty on the State’s former Chief minister Jiten Ram Manjhi and kicked an unsavoury row.

Jha had announced a bounty of Rs 11 Lakh for anyone from the ‘Brahmin’ community who can cut the tongue of HAMS leader Jitan Ram Manjhi and bring it to him.

His remarks came after Manjhi had publically used an expletive while speaking about Dalits and Brahmins.

Jha’s remarks sent shocwvaes on social media with everyone asking the BJP to take action against him.

According to ANI, Bihar BJP leader said, “I would like to make an announcement. If any Brahmin chops off the tongue of HAMS leader Jitan Ram Manjhi and bring it before me, then I will reward him with Rs 11 Lakhs. Jitan Ram Manjhi, however, is not worth even 11 paise.”
