Patna (Bihar) [India], September 5 (ANI): Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, slammed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over the Bihar Bandh and alleged that they attempted 'goondagardi' (hooliganism).
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Tejashwi Yadav called the NDA's Bihar Bandh 'super flop'.
He said, 'Bihar Bandh by BJP and NDA was a super flop. They did not get the support of any person in Bihar for the bandh they had called. They only attempted to do 'goondagardi'. They mistreated women and stopped ambulances.'
Earlier, RJD chief Lalu Yadav also lashed out at the BJP over its statewide bandh, accusing the party's workers of 'abusing and mistreating' women of the state.
Taking to a social media post on X, Lalu Yadav questioned whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi had 'ordered BJP members to abuse the mothers, sisters and daughters of Bihar and Biharis.'
'Has Prime Minister Modi ordered the BJP members to abuse the mothers, sisters, and daughters of Bihar and Biharis today? Gujaratis shouldn't underestimate Biharis. This is Bihar. BJP goons and ruffians are abusing respected teachers, women walking on the streets, students, pregnant women, the elderly, and journalists, engaging in physical altercations and mistreating them? Is this appropriate? Shameful!' the social media post read.
NDA observed Bihar Bandh on Thursday over the derogatory remarks made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at a Mahagathbandhan event in the state.
Meanwhile, addressing a press conference in Patna, Tejashwi extended support to the Opposition's Vice Presidential candidate Justice B Sudershan Reddy.
'B Sudershan Reddy ji is not associated with any political party. He will get the support of all our MPs. I have full faith in him that he will protect the Constitution and democracy, and also run the House (Rajya Sabha) more effectively. The present time demands that such a person be appointed as the Vice President who can protect the Constitution and work with everyone,' he said.
Taking a veiled jibe at PM Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah over former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation, the RJD leader questioned if Dhankhar is under house arrest.
He said, 'The surprising thing is - why is this election (vice Presidential election) is being conducted? Suddenly, through a tweet, we got to know about the ill health of Dhankhar ji. Only three people, two from Gujarat and Dhankhar sahib, know about the truth. The country wants to know where Dhankhar sahib is. Is he under house arrest?' (ANI)
