BJP replied by asked Mr. Kishor to present evidence and described his statement as “frivolous”.

Accusations against BJP leaders
Mr. Kishhor claimed that the State Minister of Health Mangal Pandey and BJP’s state chief Dilip Jaiswal were involved in “financial inconsistencies”. “Mr. Jaiswal transferred 6 August 2019 25 to Mr. Pandey’s father’s account and this money was used to buy an apartment in Dwar-6 Delhi on behalf of the then Minister of Health,” he said, displaying documents related to the register of this apartment.
He also said that during the Covid-19 pandemic: “When the whole world faced a pandemic, the Minister of Health in the state was busy buying an apartment in Delhi.”
“Even though Mr. Pandey borrowed money from Mr. Jaiswal as a loan, why didn’t he mention it in his election honorary statement by 2020 in the category of” unsecured loan “?” Mr. Kishhor asked.
He also claimed that Mr. Pandey had granted the status “considered at the university” of the Faculty of Medicine, Kishanganji, in which Mr. Jaiswal has “huge shares”.

“But the leader BJP continues to be Minister of Minister Nitisha Kumar,” Kishhor said.
