Lalu is the ‘Gabbar’ of Bihar, he scares everyone: Bihar Dy CM
The upcoming assembly elections in Bihar have already sparked intense political debates and statements from various leaders. Recently, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary made a bold statement that has left many tongues wagging. He compared RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to the infamous villain Gabbar from the iconic Bollywood movie Sholay, stating that the former has scared everyone in the state.
Choudhary’s statement, made during a public rally, has sparked a heated debate about the role of Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar politics. The Deputy Chief Minister claimed that a staggering 1.25 crore people have left the state due to the fear instilled by Lalu Prasad Yadav. He emphasized that the RJD chief has a reputation for striking fear into the hearts of people from all communities, including the upper and backward classes.
In his statement, Choudhary referred to Lalu Prasad Yadav as the “Gabbar of Bihar”, drawing an analogy between the notorious dacoit from the Bollywood classic and the RJD chief’s alleged ability to intimidate people. “He is the ‘Gabbar’ of Bihar…be it any community, upper or backward class, one person who scared everyone was Yadav. But now we need to change this,” Choudhary said, hinting that the ruling party intends to bring about a change in the state’s political landscape.
Lalu Prasad Yadav, a stalwart of Bihar politics, has been at the helm of the RJD since its inception in 1997. He has been instrumental in shaping the state’s politics and has been a dominant force in the region. However, his tenure as Chief Minister between 1990 and 1997 was marked by allegations of corruption and nepotism.
The Bihar Deputy Chief Minister’s statement is likely a tactic to discredit Lalu Prasad Yadav and the RJD ahead of the assembly elections. Choudhary’s remarks are part of a broader effort by the ruling party to portray the opposition as corrupt and ineffective. By linking Lalu Prasad Yadav to the infamous Gabbar, Choudhary aims to reinforce the narrative that the RJD chief is a villain who has only brought fear and instability to the state.
However, it remains to be seen whether Choudhary’s statement will have a significant impact on the elections. Lalu Prasad Yadav still enjoys a strong support base in the state, particularly among the Yadav community, which is a significant voting bloc in Bihar.
The RJD chief has been a dominant figure in Bihar politics for decades, and his charisma and oratory skills continue to draw large crowds. His party has been working tirelessly to capitalize on the discontent among voters, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic downturn.
In the face of mounting opposition, the ruling party will need to come up with a robust strategy to counter the RJD’s narrative and win over voters. Choudhary’s statement may be seen as a desperate attempt to distract attention from the ruling party’s own shortcomings.
In conclusion, Samrat Choudhary’s statement comparing Lalu Prasad Yadav to Gabbar is a bold move that has sparked intense debate in Bihar politics. While it remains to be seen whether this tactic will pay off for the ruling party, one thing is certain – the upcoming assembly elections are shaping up to be a closely contested affair.
