In a surprising sight on the first day of Bihar’s budget session, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav made his way into the state assembly on a wheelchair. The video of the RJD leader being wheeled in quickly went viral, sparking widespread speculation about his health. Was the young politician seriously ill, or had something else happened?
Tejashwi himself addressed the concerns directly. Speaking to reporters, he revealed that about 8-9 days ago, on January 25, he tripped and injured his foot. The mishap caused his toenail to come off completely, making walking extremely painful. ‘These things happen sometimes,’ he said casually, downplaying the injury.
Despite the discomfort, Yadav was determined not to miss the crucial budget session. Supported by party colleagues, he arrived on time for Governor Arif Mohammad Khan’s address. Medical sources confirmed he’s under professional care, and the injury is being monitored closely.
The RJD had earlier posted about the incident on social media, alerting supporters. This minor accident comes at a time when political temperatures are soaring in Bihar. The budget session marks the first major face-off between the ruling NDA and opposition Mahagathbandhan after recent controversies.
Opposition parties, led by RJD, plan aggressive protests over the tragic death of a NEET aspirant in Bihar. RJD leader Bhai Virendra declared they would stall proceedings until Chief Minister Nitish Kumar addresses the issue. ‘The government’s failures on women’s safety and education are exposed,’ he asserted.
RJD MLA Ranvijay Sahu warned of continuous disruption until justice is served. The party alleges cover-up by ruling party leaders involved in the case, dismissing CBI probe calls as mere distractions. ‘Real culprits must face justice,’ Sahu demanded.
Governor Khan’s speech outlined government priorities and achievements, but opposition benches remained restless. As Bihar politics heats up, Tejashwi’s presence – even on wheels – signals RJD’s readiness for battle. The session promises fireworks on multiple fronts, from budget allocations to accountability demands.
