News India Live, Digital Desk: A social media post has set fire in Bihar politics. There is such a political fierce battle on a post made by the Congress party about ‘Bidi’ that now the ball has come in the court of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. Both Janata Dal United (JDU) and BJP have surrounded the Congress on this issue and sought answers from Tejashwi Yadav. JDU has challenged Tejashwi directly, calling it an insult to the poor.
What is the whole controversy?
In fact, at the root of the controversy, there is a post done from the official social media handle of the Congress, in which drinking bidi is shown negatively. As soon as this post came in front of this post, the politics of Bihar got hot, because in states like Bihar and Jharkhand, the livelihood of millions of people is related to the bidi industry, in which a large number belongs to the poor and backward classes.
JDU stains direct question on Tejashwi
JDU did not delay at all in catching this occasion. JDU chief spokesperson and Legislative Councilor Neeraj Kumar directly attacked Tejashwi Yadav. He said, “Your ally (Congress) has posted a negative post about bidi. It is an insult to millions of poor people whose house runs by making bidi. It is also an insult to the tribals who choose Tendupatta.”
Neeraj Kumar reminded Tejashwi that his father Lalu Prasad Yadav also used to drink bidi and called himself the leader of the poor. He asked Tejashwi, “Now tell me, you are with this move of your colleague or with those poor? Do you dare to oppose this post of Congress? Now the ball is in your court, answer.”
BJP also attacked
Not only JDU, BJP has also taken a dig at the Congress and its allies on this issue. BJP leaders say that the Congress has always been anti -poor and this post is the latest proof of this. He says that the parties who do politics in the name of the poor, today they are making fun of their employment.
Tejashwi is silent
There is no concrete response from RJD and Tejashwi Yadav on this entire political uproar. Tejashwi is currently trapped in a difficult situation. If they oppose the Congress post, then the ‘India’ alliance may have a rift and if they remain silent, then JDU and BJP will leave no stone unturned to prove them ‘anti -poor’. It remains to be seen how Tejashwi leaves from this political chakravyuh.
