Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader, Samrat Choudhary, criticized RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, accusing the party of promoting dynastic politics and lacking internal democracy. Choudhary pointed out the absence of democracy within the RJD, claiming that the party now solely revolves around Lalu Yadav’s son. He questioned the party’s future and likened long-time RJD workers to slaves.
Taking a swipe at Tejashwi Yadav’s appointment as the RJD’s national working president, Choudhary remarked on Lalu Prasad Yadav’s favoritism towards his son. He alleged that merit holds no significance in the RJD and that family connections are given precedence over organizational democracy. Choudhary also highlighted the rejection of RJD’s politics by the people of Bihar in the recent Assembly elections.
Defending the Nitish Kumar government against opposition criticism on Bihar’s law and order, the Deputy Chief Minister praised the efficiency of the Bihar Police. He emphasized the widespread fear of the Bihar Police, even extending beyond the state’s borders. Choudhary reiterated his disapproval of senior RJD leaders and workers, criticizing what he described as a culture of servitude within the party.
Maintaining confidence in Bihar’s governance, Choudhary reassured the public of the government’s strong stance against crime. He emphasized the state’s safety and the government’s unwavering commitment to a zero-tolerance policy on criminal activities. Amidst political tensions and internal changes within the RJD, Choudhary’s statements reflect the ongoing upheaval in the party.
