Sanjay Jha targets Tejashwi Yadav, saying, “He is doing part-time politics in Bihar.”
Janata Dal United (JD(U)) leader Sanjay Jha targeted RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, alleging that he is not doing full-time politics in Bihar. Talking to reporters, Jha said that when students were protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi for their demands, Tejashwi Yadav was on a foreign tour. According to him, Tejashwi returned only after the demands of the students were accepted.
On this basis, Sanjay Jha raised questions on Tejashwi’s political activism. He said that Tejashwi’s party is now preparing to march to Lok Bhavan on August 19. Jha also raised questions about this proposed march, saying that action has already been taken against the policeman in the incident surrounding the protest.
This political statement has come at a time when allegations and counter-allegations are going on between the ruling party and the opposition regarding student protests and police action in Bihar. RJD has termed the alleged use of AK-47 by the police during the student protest in Siwan on July 25 as a serious issue. Tejashwi Yadav has questioned the circumstances of the incident and demanded accountability from the Bihar government and the Centre.
Sanjay Jha’s taunt on Tejashwi Yadav regarding the Jantar Mantar protest
Sanjay Jha alleged that Tejashwi Yadav was abroad when students were protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to press for their demands. According to Jha, instead of showing political activism on the issue related to the student movement, Tejashwi travelled abroad and returned later.
In this context, Jha said that Tejashwi is doing “part-time politics” in Bihar. However, this comment is a political reaction of the JD(U) leader and it remains to be seen what response Tejashwi Yadav gives to this allegation.
There has been sharp rhetoric between the two parties in Bihar politics for a long time. In such a situation, the issue related to student movement has also become a part of political debate.
RJD announces march to Lok Bhavan on August 19th
Tejashwi Yadav recently announced that RJD will march to Lok Bhavan on August 19th. The march is to be organised to protest against the alleged police action during the student protest in Siwan on July 25.
RJD says that the alleged use of AK-47 by the police during the protest raises many questions. The party is demanding to determine the circumstances and responsibility of this incident.
Tejashwi has demanded accountability from the Bihar government and the Centre in this matter. RJD argues that it is important to get a clear answer on such incidents, especially when the matter is related to student protests and police action.
Sanjay Jha said, “Action has already been taken against the policeman.”
Jha questioned the RJD’s proposed march, saying that action has already been taken against the policeman accused of using an AK-47 during the protest. On this basis, he asked that when action has already been taken against the concerned policeman, then what is the need to take out a march again regarding this incident.
The JD(U) leader said the opposition was trying to politicise the issue. The purpose of his statement was to question the need and political objective of the movement announced by RJD.
However, RJD is not considering this case as limited to action against only one policeman. The party is raising questions about the entire circumstances of the incident and the accountability of the government.
What happened during the Siwan student protest?
On July 25, a controversy arose over police action during a student protest in Siwan. The incident sparked a political controversy over the alleged use of AK-47s by the police.
After the incident, Tejashwi Yadav raised questions on the matter and asked why such a situation arose during the protest. He demanded a clear answer from the government regarding the circumstances and responsibility of the incident.
At the same time, it is being said by the ruling party that action has been taken against the concerned policeman in the case. On this basis, JD(U) is questioning the need for the opposition’s proposed movement.
Student protests have now become a political issue in Bihar.
The issue of student protests and police action is gradually becoming a major topic in Bihar politics. RJD is linking it to the accountability of the government, while JD(U) is seeing it as a political strategy of the opposition.
After the announcement of Lok Bhavan march by Tejashwi Yadav, political rhetoric on this issue is likely to intensify further. While the opposition wants answers regarding the incident, the ruling party says that action has already been taken.
The basic issues of the students and the circumstances of the police action are also important in this entire controversy. Apart from political allegations and counter-allegations, it will be necessary to come up with factual answers to these questions to understand this matter.
Tejashwi’s response to the “part-time politics” comment will be crucial.
Sanjay Jha’s “part-time politics” comment has added a new political flak to Bihar politics. Jha has questioned Tejashwi’s political activism by linking his foreign trip to the student movement.
On the other hand, Tejashwi Yadav and the RJD have declared a Lok Bhavan march on August 19, calling the Siwan incident a serious issue. The party says that the government will be held accountable for the police action and the alleged use of an AK-47.
Now it remains to be seen what answer Tejashwi Yadav gives to Sanjay Jha’s allegations and how the RJD march of August 19 proceeds. At present, this issue has further intensified the political conflict between the ruling alliance and the opposition in Bihar.
