It has been reported that while he was travelling to Khoriari village in Lakhisarai, his vehicle was surrounded by Murdabad (down with) slogans. During the attack, some people threw stones at his car and shoes were hurled as well. Sinha also claimed that RJD miscreants threw cow dung at his vehicle.
Three-time MLA Vijay Sinha, contesting again from Lakhisarai this election, accused RJD of orchestrating the attack to stop him from visiting his constituency and was visibly angry against Tejashwi Yadav's party. "They are RJD goons. They know that the NDA is returning to power again, so they are indulging in hooliganism. This time, the bulldozers will roll over them. They have sent back my polling agents and did not allow them to vote. Look at their behaviour at booths 404 and 405 in Khoriari," he warned.
