Political tempers flared in Patna as BJP’s Bihar unit head Sanjay Saravgi tore into Tejashwi Yadav, accusing him of disrespecting women by implying they were bought with election bribes. The RJD leader had stunned the assembly by alleging NDA’s Rs 40,000 crore blitzkrieg secured victory.
‘They’re finished, and the leftovers won’t last,’ Saravgi shot back, praising NDA’s governance since gaining absolute majority. No complaints, he said, while courts have exposed Lalu family’s criminal politics empire.
Tejashwi’s Rs 10,000-per-woman bribe narrative incensed Saravgi: ‘Pure insult to Bihar’s women and populace.’ He championed the government’s empowerment drive—Rs 10,000 entry aid, up to Rs 2 lakh for growth—making Bihar No. 1 in women’s upliftment.
Saravgi didn’t spare Congress, charging Rahul Gandhi and others with global India defamation and Sikh community offenses. Tejashwi countered by exposing Bihar’s dismal national rankings under BJP-Nitish, mocking 20 years of development hype.
This showdown lays bare ideological battlelines, with women’s dignity and state progress as key arenas.
