Protesting against Lalganj MLA Raj Kumar Sah visiting Harivanshpur, on Sunday, residents of the village in Vaishali district raised slogans against Sah as he visited the village to inquire into the health of villagers amidst the outbreak of encephalitis in the state, which has claimed 179 children as of date. People had put missing posters against him on Saturday alleging that he never visited the area.

Visuals show villagers following Sah, raising slogans as he proceeds through a narrow street and enters a hut where a weak man lies on a cot. 

Earlier on Friday, posters had been seen proclaiming that Rs.5100 will be awarded to the person spotting Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav in Bihar's Muzaffarpur.

Meanwhile, her own sons and RJD leaders Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav have been silent on the deaths of children in the state.
