Bihar’s political arena heated up in Madhubani when a confrontation in front of Congress leader Rajesh Ram prompted BJP and JD(U) to mock the party’s alleged penchant for brawls. What started as a minor disagreement spiraled into a full-blown tussle, spotlighting deep-seated rivalries.
The clash occurred amid a crowded gathering, where tensions boiled over into fisticuffs. BJP’s sharp-tongued critique labeled it ‘Congress ka culture: maar-peet ka,’ a phrase that’s now trending across social media. JD(U) leaders joined the chorus, accusing the opposition of fostering an environment of intimidation.
Details emerging from the scene paint a picture of pandemonium: Shouts, shoves, and scrambling supporters turned the platform into a battlefield. Rajesh Ram, visibly shaken, attempted to calm the crowd, but to no avail. Local police intervened swiftly, dispersing the mob and filing initial reports.
This isn’t the first time Congress has faced such backlash in Bihar. Critics argue it reflects a broader strategy of street-level aggression rather than policy debates. NDA allies are capitalizing on the moment, with posters and campaigns already circulating that highlight the ‘violent streak’ in opposition politics.
In response, Congress insiders claim the scuffle was instigated by BJP agents to derail their momentum. Yet, public perception seems tilted against them, with viral clips amplifying the narrative of disorder. As investigations proceed, the incident underscores the high stakes in Bihar’s cutthroat political theater, where every skirmish can sway voter sentiment.
