‘I Don’t…’ is the LJP leader’s response to the abusive language directed towards Chirag Paswan’s mother during Tejashwi Yadav’s rally

After footage of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) members abusing the mother of Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan, Veena Paswan, went viral on social media on Thursday, the political climate in Bihar heated up. The incident happened at a rally in Jamui constituency for former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was reportedly present when the crowd began yelling insults at Chirag Paswan’s mother in photos that went viral on social media.

Chirag Paswan called a press conference shortly after seeing the viral video and voiced his strong condemnation of the incident that happened in front of the former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar. Chirag Paswan attacked Tejashwi, saying, “There is no difference between his mother and my mother for me,” after expressing his sadness over the abusive video that targeted his mother.

Had I been at his place, I would have responded. No family man would, in my opinion, put up with this abuse. Women make up half of our population, so I think it’s time we started treating them with respect,” he continued.

Notably, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Chirag Paswan won the seat representing Jamui. But this time, he declared his brother-in-law Arun Bharti’s candidacy for the position.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav responded to the offensive remarks made by party members in Jamui about Chirag Paswan’s mother by claiming that he was unaware of the incident.

“I am not aware of who is saying what. While I was speaking, I heard nothing. The crowd was enormous. Tejashwi Yadav was cited as saying, “These people have made their video and have posted it on social media.”

“RJD is irritated as they are losing the election,” said BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain in response to the widely shared video that showed insults directed at the mother of LJP Chief Chirag Paswan. They’re mistreating people now. In front of Tejashwi Yadav and other RJD leaders, Chirag Paswan’s mother was mistreated. No one halted. In Bihar, it’s never happened. That is not appropriate.
