In a biting critique, JD(U) spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad ridiculed RJD’s speculation about making Tejashwi Yadav its executive president, cautioning that it could lead to the party’s total collapse. Speaking to media, Prasad highlighted how Tejashwi’s growing duties have already eroded RJD’s base.
‘RJD’s existence is fading, yet they’re planning to anoint Tejashwi amid his track record of irresponsibility,’ Prasad remarked. ‘As opposition leader, he’s faltered badly—what happens with added party reins? Total annihilation looms.’
Turning to Tejashwi’s praise for Karpoori Thakur, Prasad retorted sharply: ‘Emulating icons requires real struggle, not lip service. Karpoori’s stature came from decades of sacrifice.’ He respected Lalu’s movement origins but slammed Tejashwi’s strategy. ‘Workers reject this posturing. Dissent brews inside—Rohini Acharya’s outbursts and leaders like Veerendra expose the unrest.’
Prasad linked this to broader opposition woes, referencing Congress leader Naseemuddin Siddiqui’s UP exit. ‘Rahul Gandhi’s leadership has crippled Congress as a viable opposition,’ he said. ‘Loyalists are fleeing, and critical voices from across India demand course correction before it’s too late.’
This exchange underscores Bihar’s cutthroat politics, where JD(U) positions itself as the steady force against RJD’s perceived chaos. With elections on the horizon, such volleys could reshape alliances and voter perceptions significantly.
