Patna’s political corridors are buzzing after RJD spokesperson unleashed a scathing attack on BJP’s Suresh Pasi for his provocative comments. Labeling it a blatant attempt to incite religious animosity, the RJD leader accused BJP of weaponizing faith for electoral gains in Bihar.
Delving into the details, Pasi’s speech at a local event allegedly made derogatory references that offended religious sentiments. RJD, long a champion of social justice, sees this as part of BJP’s broader playbook to fragment Bihar’s diverse populace. ‘They thrive on hate; we stand for unity,’ the spokesperson emphasized during a press briefing.
Background context reveals a pattern. BJP’s campaigns in Bihar have frequently touched on religious themes, from Ram Mandir celebrations to critiques of opposition’s minority appeasement. Yet, Pasi’s unfiltered outburst has crossed a line, say observers, potentially backfiring amid rising youth disillusionment with polarising politics.
RJD’s response is multifaceted: media blitzes, door-to-door outreach, and alliances with like-minded parties. They’ve highlighted Bihar’s shared cultural heritage, urging citizens to reject division. On the flip side, BJP supporters defend Pasi, claiming his words were misconstrued and aimed at exposing ‘pseudo-secularism’.
Key figures from both camps traded barbs throughout the day. As the video of Pasi’s speech went viral, netizens split into camps, with hashtags trending statewide. Legal experts speculate FIRs could follow if complaints mount.
Looking ahead, this row could reshape campaign strategies. For RJD, it’s an opportunity to reclaim moral high ground; for BJP, a test of damage control. Bihar’s electorate, weary of acrimony, might prioritize governance over grievances. Stay tuned as this unfolds.
