On the video of police personnel complying with RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav's instructions to dance, Bihar deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha said “RJD's culture is to flout the law, make fun of people in constitutional posts, insult the Constitution repeatedly, and demoralise people”.
"The ideology and values of people who have been in RJD will never change," Sinha said.
