**Patna, Bihar:** The Bihar Legislative Assembly today witnessed a heated confrontation between Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, descending into a personal attack targeting each other’s fathers.
The clash erupted during a debate on the state government’s performance. Yadav criticized the current government, contrasting it unfavorably with his father Lalu Prasad Yadav’s previous administration. He also questioned Choudhary’s political allegiances, highlighting his past criticism of the BJP before joining the party. Yadav specifically challenged Choudhary regarding his father’s language used at BJP rallies, implying it was abusive.
Choudhary retaliated fiercely, accusing Lalu Prasad Yadav of looting Bihar and sending him to jail. He further boasted that his own conduct had been superior. The exchange was punctuated by interruptions and protests from BJP MLAs. Yadav countered by questioning Choudhary’s electoral history, noting his past association with the RJD.
The feud highlighted the deep-seated political rivalry between the ruling coalition and the RJD. Choudhary’s swift rise within the BJP, his father’s shifting political affiliations, and the historical context of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s tenure added layers of complexity to the already volatile exchange. The heated debate underscored the ongoing tension and sharp political divisions within Bihar’s legislative landscape.
