The heat in Bihar Assembly’s budget session escalated as BJP Paschim Champaran MP Sanjay Jaiswal unleashed a blistering response to Tejashwi Yadav’s accusations. The RJD leader claimed BJP-NDA spent a staggering Rs 40,000 crore against him and doled out Rs 10,000 to women’s accounts during polls, securing their votes.
‘Tejashwi doesn’t need external foes; his deeds do the job,’ Jaiswal retorted. He pointed to the controversial flat buy in Patna’s upscale Defense Colony for Rs 4.5 lakh and painted a grim picture of RJD rule: lawlessness with abductions, killings, and extortion making nights unsafe.
Jaiswal urged Yadav to atone for personal and familial sins before lecturing others. On women’s issues, he quipped that Yadav should first seek his family’s views. Turning to national politics, Jaiswal lambasted Rahul Gandhi for immaturity, unable to accept PM Modi’s rise from poverty.
‘Let him vacation abroad quietly,’ Jaiswal advised. Endorsing Nadda’s ‘naive boy’ label, he criticized Gandhi’s partisan view of India and his affront to Sikh leader Ravneet Bittu by calling him a betrayer. Such conduct disrespects a community etched in India’s freedom struggle.
As Bihar’s opposition cries foul on electoral tactics, Jaiswal’s offensive signals BJP’s aggressive posturing ahead of 2025 assembly polls, framing rivals’ past governance as their Achilles’ heel.
