The arrest of Youth Congress chief Uday Bhanu Chib by Delhi Police has sparked a political firestorm, drawing sharp reactions from Bihar’s opposition leaders. RJD MLA Bhai Virendra dismissed any wrongdoing by the protesters at the AI Summit, affirming his party’s full backing.
In a candid interview, Virendra clarified that such demonstrations arise organically from circumstances. ‘No hidden agendas or masterminds here. Parties act per their ideologies, and the Congress protest was spot on. I stand by it completely,’ he asserted.
Joining the chorus, Congress MLA Abhishek Ranjan labeled the arrest as blatant political persecution. He warned of impending sedition cases against activists who were merely voicing dissent peacefully. ‘This targeting of our youth wing sets a dangerous precedent in democratic India,’ Ranjan warned.
Shifting focus to Bihar, RJD’s Ranvijay Sahu painted a grim picture of lawlessness. From unchecked murders—like the savage killing of siblings in Patna—to skyrocketing rapes (over 40 in the past month), he accused the Nitish Kumar government of ruling through brute force. ‘Lathis and bullets can’t mask the criminality at the top. Where is the CM’s voice?’ Sahu questioned.
On the watchmen and village officers’ agitation, Virendra decried the violent police response that left many wounded. Demanding accountability for the lathi charge orders and resolution of legitimate grievances, he called for proactive governance.
This multi-layered controversy underscores deepening rifts between ruling alliances and opposition, with protests emerging as a flashpoint in India’s polarized political landscape.
