A video purportedly showing Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Lok Sabha MP Surendra Prasad Yadav using offensive language has circulated widely on social media, leading to a significant political uproar in Bihar. Yadav, who represents the Jehanabad Lok Sabha constituency, has dismissed the video as AI-generated and has declined to apologize. He has challenged anyone considering legal action against him, stating that he will confront it without fear.
The RJD MP has refuted the accusations, asserting that the video was manipulated using artificial intelligence. Yadav has stood firm, refusing to offer any apologies and accusing the media of instigating controversies for personal and financial motives. He has accused the Bihar government of being involved in the incident and criticized the working conditions of journalists, advocating for a fixed salary structure for media professionals.
Yadav has emphasized his resilience, stating that he will not succumb to pressure and will not seek forgiveness, regardless of the ongoing controversy. The contentious video allegedly captures the RJD MP using objectionable language during an interaction with local residents in Jehanabad. The clip, believed to be from a recent visit, shows Yadav expressing frustration over the limited support received in the area and making offensive remarks towards a specific community.
The viral video has become ammunition for the ruling NDA, with leaders from the JD-U and BJP launching scathing criticisms against the RJD. JDU Spokesperson Neeraj Kumar has ridiculed Yadav, suggesting that his remarks reflect the RJD’s mounting frustration. He has highlighted the breakdown of the “MY” (Muslim-Yadav) equation often mentioned by RJD leaders, indicating a decline in the party’s traditional support base. Union Minister Giriraj Singh, speaking in Begusarai, has condemned the RJD for considering certain communities as permanent vote banks, warning that such disrespectful behavior will no longer be tolerated by the public.
