In a fiery press briefing, RJD tore into BJP’s much-touted ‘Nari Vandana’ events in Patna, calling them a sham designed for media buzz. Shakti Singh Yadav, the party’s chief spokesperson, exposed what he termed ‘headline management’ at Kargil Chowk and Gandhi Maidan rallies.
He alleged BJP exploited Jivika women workers with lies to boost attendance, revealing NDA’s fractured front. The real outrage, Yadav said, was BJP’s audacity in cordoning off no-go zones, setting up unauthorized platforms, and flexing administrative muscle.
Contrasting sharply, Yadav touted RJD’s commitment: nearly a third of Lok Sabha tickets to women, substantial shares in state assembly and council races. ‘Show us your numbers,’ he taunted BJP on women’s nominations across elections.
Tensions flared as JD(U)’s Leshi Singh walked off stage in protest over perceived disrespect. Yadav grilled BJP on dodging intra-quota protections for women and Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary’s rule-breaking. Flanked by party heavyweights including legislator Dr. Urmila Thakur, the event signaled RJD’s aggressive offensive.
As Bihar gears up for electoral battles, this episode highlights hypocrisy in empowerment rhetoric. RJD’s data-driven attack could sway women voters, pressuring BJP to prove its credentials beyond spectacles.
