"The BJP is trying to change the course of the elections by raising such issues. I think all this should end now, as it has nothing to do with the people of Bihar," he added.

Singh had earlier said that people including sages used to eat meat in the Vedic period and there was proof in the ancient text to substantiate the claim.
