A high-stakes arrest in Delhi has Bihar politicians buzzing, as Youth Congress head Uday Bhanu Chib faces charges from an AI Summit protest. RJD firebrand MLA Bhai Virendra declared the demonstration legitimate, offering unreserved endorsement.
During a Patna press interaction, he debunked notions of orchestration. ‘Situational protests are party policy in action. Nothing amiss at the summit—I back Congress 100%,’ Virendra proclaimed.
Fellow opposition voice Congress MLA Abhishek Ranjan called out the move as selective outrage. ‘Targeting youth for peaceful protest with sedition looms is politics at its worst. Our president’s detention crosses red lines,’ he said.
Broadening the critique, RJD MLA Ranvijay Sahu unleashed on Bihar’s anarchy: unsolved fratricides in Patna, 40-odd rapes last month, and a trigger-happy police under silent CM Nitish. ‘Governing like gangsters—lathis over justice,’ he thundered.
Virendra also rallied for beleaguered watchmen and constables, whose demands met vicious lathi charges injuring dozens. He pressed for prosecuting order-givers and honoring the workers’ rightful claims.
As the story unfolds, it exposes fault lines in India’s democracy, blending national protests with local governance failures for a potent opposition narrative.
