The ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) on Monday made a sensational allegation against its former ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), questioning if the recent Bodhgaya serial blasts and the Chhapra mid-day meal tragedy had a Gujarat link.



During a debate on the adjournment motion over mid-day meal case, JD-U's Manjeet Singh said in the Bihar Assembly that the Opposition had not only conspired in the tragic deaths involving the lunch scheme run in government schools across the country, but even the timers used in Bodhgaya blasts were found procured from the BJP-ruled Gujarat.

Earlier, the opposition parties created a ruckus in the House demanding discussion on the July 16 Chhapra tragedy leading to disruptions in its proceeding.



Sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which has been probing the July 7 Bodhgaya terror attack case, had said that the timer used in the bombs planted at the Mahabodhi Temple were manufactured in Gujarat and the devices were brought to the Bihar town from Guwahati.



Also, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his party leaders have time and again alleged a political conspiracy behind the Chhapra midday meal tragedy.
