Tejashwi Yadav: People in Bihar are angrier about politics since the BJP called for a Bharat Bandh on September 4. A bandh was called from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. to protest the insults that were said about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother, Heeraben, at the Congress-RJD Voter Adhikar Yatra gathering in Darbhanga.
What the BJP Says
This event was strongly criticized by the BJP, which said it was a new low in politics. Senior leaders said that the comments about the Prime Minister’s mother were really very disrespectful. This incident is an insult to every mother, sister, and daughter. People in the parties have held light marches, burned effigies of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, and said they will not stand for this kind of language.
Bharat Bandh as a Protest
The BJP called for a Bharat Bandh across Bihar to put more pressure on the government. They framed it as a public action to protect the rights of women and mothers. People also think that the bandh is a plan to corner the opposition before the polls.
What Tejashwi Yadav Said
As the political climate gets worse, questions are being asked: Is Tejashwi Yadav scared by the BJP‘s call for a bandh?
The head of the RJD has had to make things clear, even though there is no direct proof that he is “scared.” Reports say that the RJD and Congress have spoken out against the insulting slogans, saying that the BJP is trying to make the problem bigger than it is in order to hurt the opposition’s yatra. People inside the party say the chants were made by “unknown elements” and not by Tejashwi or Rahul Gandhi.
Congress Disputes the Story
To make things worse for the Prime Minister, the Congress has backed Tejashwi and said that Modi used the word “non-biological” to describe his mother, so he shouldn’t play the victim card. They say the BJP is using the debate for political gain instead of dealing with the real problems that the yatra brought up, like unemployment and fairness in society.
What this means for politics
The conversation shows how divided people are becoming in Bihar’s politics. The RJD-Congress alliance says it is being falsely criticized, while the BJP says the partnership is “insulting mothers.” It’s not clear if Tejashwi Yadav’s clarifications will calm things down, but the Bharat Bandh has made sure that the issue will stay in the news for a while longer.
