The political atmosphere in Bihar has once again heated up. Om Prakash Rajbhar, a minister in the Uttar Pradesh government and president of the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), has stirred controversy with a significant statement. During his visit to Bihar, he not only attacked the opposition regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in the state but also hinted that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) expelled leader Tej Pratap Yadav might join the Samajwadi Party (SP).
Rajbhar's statement has sparked new discussions in political circles. He stated that the opposition in Bihar was preparing to return to power by spreading confusion and relying on fraudulent voters, but they have started making noise now that this avenue has been closed off.
Opposition Relied on Fraudulent Voters
OP Rajbhar described the ongoing voter list revision in Bihar as the real reason for the opposition's unease. He alleged that the opposition is deliberately spreading misinformation to create confusion among the people and question the government. He said that it is perfectly justified to remove the names of people from the voter list who are either no longer in this world or have moved elsewhere.
Rajbhar claimed that the opposition was hoping to win the assembly elections with the help of fake voters, but they became uncomfortable when the government took strict action against this. He stated that the opposition's strategy has failed this time due to the transparency in the election process.
Major Strategy Formulated Regarding Bihar Elections
Om Prakash Rajbhar also shared several important points regarding his party's strategy in Bihar. He mentioned that his party has considerable support from extremely backward castes in the state, such as Rajbhar, Rajvanshi, Lohar, etc. These communities have not received political representation until now, but his party is ready to fill this void.
Rajbhar also said that the NDA achieved a major victory with his party's support in the last by-election, while the recent Lok Sabha election results were less than expected. Despite this, he would prefer to stay with the NDA in the Bihar Assembly elections, provided they are given respectable seats. He also clarified that his party is ready to contest the elections alone if necessary. He staked a claim on more than 20 seats and said that his party has a b presence in more than 100 seats in the state.
Speculation Intensifies About Tej Pratap Joining SP
Rajbhar also made a big claim about Tej Pratap Yadav in his statement. He hinted that the RJD might try to have its expelled leader Tej Pratap 'accommodated' into the SP. This statement comes at a time when discussions about Tej Pratap's activity and his increasing closeness with the SP were already ongoing. Rajbhar's statement has further strengthened these speculations.
Rajbhar believes that politics in Bihar will no longer follow the old patterns. Which party receives the organized support of the extremely backward castes will determine the direction of the election results. In such a situation, parties like SP, SBSP, and BJP are fully engaged in trying to win over this support base.
