‘Bihar approves gobhi farming’: Assam minister’s post ignites fury; Shashi Tharoor reacts

Assam Minister Ashok Singhal’s X post referencing “gobhi farming” after Bihar election results has ignited controversy. Critics believe it alludes to the 1989 Bhagalpur riots’ “cauliflower burial case,” where victims’ bodies were allegedly concealed under cauliflower fields. Social media users condemned the perceived insensitivity, prompting a response from Shashi Tharoor who denounced such massacres.
