Patna, February 6: Bihar‘s Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Samrat Chaudhary launched a sharp attack on RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Thursday. He accused the RJD of promoting dynastic politics and lacking internal democracy.
Targeting the leadership structure of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Chaudhary stated that there is no room for democracy within the party. He claimed that the RJD now revolves entirely around the affection for Lalu Yadav’s son.
Chaudhary compared the party’s old workers to slaves, raising questions about the future of the RJD. He mocked the appointment of Tejashwi Yadav as the national executive president of the RJD, suggesting that Lalu Prasad Yadav’s love for his son was so profound that he made him the party’s executive president.
He alleged that merit holds no value in the RJD, where familial ties are prioritized over organizational democracy. Referring to the Bihar Assembly election results, Chaudhary asserted that the people of the state have completely rejected the RJD’s Politics.
He claimed that the people of Bihar defeated the RJD, forcing it to shrink to just 25 seats. He attributed this outcome to public anger and distrust in the party.
In response to opposition criticism regarding law and order in Bihar, the Deputy Chief Minister defended the Nitish Kumar government and praised the efficiency of the Bihar police.
Citing an example, he claimed that the fear of Bihar police has spread beyond the state. He stated that even in Bengaluru, criminals are now pleading for help on television. He emphasized that there is strict rule of law here, and criminals fear the police.
Chaudhary reiterated his criticism of senior RJD leaders and workers, stating that those who remain in the party despite its culture of servitude are doing so voluntarily.
He asserted that such a work culture has no place in a democratic system. Dismissing opposition concerns, the Deputy Chief Minister stated that Bihar is in safe hands and reaffirmed the government’s zero-tolerance policy against crime.
His comments come amid rising political tensions within the RJD and ongoing organizational turmoil.
