BJP MLA Haribhushan Thakur Bachaul asked Muslims to \”stay indoors\” during Holi. Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav slammed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for remaining silent. Yadav said: \”JDU is now under the influence of BJP and RSS. The Chief Minister is only concerned about his chair, not the people of Bihar.\” Yadav emphasised India’s Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb (Hindu-Muslim brotherhood), saying: \”This is a country that believes in both Ram and Rahim. Many like Bachaul and Togadia have come and gone, but Bihar has always dealt with them firmly\” The battle for the 2025 Assembly polls in Bihar is intensifying now. The opposition is using Bachaul’s provocative remark to corner the ruling NDA government. With the Bihar elections approaching, Yadav is positioning himself as the defender of secularism, directly attacking Nitish. Kumar for his silence on communal issues.
