The political arena of Bihar is never short of sharp comments and jibes. On the occasion of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav’s birthday, former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi extended his wishes, but with a critical undertone.
Manjhi, in a social media post, wrote about the alleged divisive practices of Lalu Yadav and made a remark about the potential use of an AK-47, seemingly targeting Tejashwi Yadav’s political aspirations. This comment created a stir, as it was perceived as an indirect attack on the RJD’s political style and a reminder of the ‘jungle raj’ era. The message also included a comment on the alleged caste-based politics.
While Lalu Yadav’s birthday was celebrated by RJD supporters, Manjhi’s remarks have generated considerable buzz.
