In a fiery outburst, RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmad on Thursday condemned the Bihar NDA regime for trimming opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav’s security. He branded it a calculated conspiracy to silence the opposition’s growing challenge to the powers that be.
‘Democracy is under siege,’ Ahmad declared, arguing the timing reeks of panic ahead of planned opposition movements. Tejashwi’s spotlight on unemployment, stalled growth, women’s vulnerabilities, rampant crime, and killings has evidently rattled the ruling camp.
Ahmad wove in the Patna NEET student tragedy, alleging the government seeks to divert public fury through this ‘vindictive’ decision. Why the double standards? BJP heavyweights and JD(U) bigwigs bask in Z-plus luxury with commando detachments, he fumed.
The revamped list features Z-security for ministers Nitin Nabin, Mangal Pandey, state BJP chief Sanjay Sarawgi, and Lalan Singh. Meanwhile, Tejashwi joins Giriraj Singh in the Y-plus bracket—a clear downgrade, per RJD.
Authorities maintain it’s all based on rigorous threat evaluations. But Ahmad sees through the facade: it’s retaliation for Tejashwi’s unyielding public advocacy. As political temperatures soar, this move could fuel more unrest, testing the NDA’s grip on Bihar’s volatile politics.
RJD stands firm, portraying Tejashwi as an unbreakable champion of the masses, ready to amplify Bihar’s pressing concerns despite the odds.
