The Bihar Legislative Council recently witnessed scenes that felt more like a high-stakes drama than a political assembly. Former Chief Minister and RJD leader Rabri Devi found herself at the center of a massive uproar, leading to a situation so heated that her own party colleagues had to step in to prevent a physical confrontation.
A Flashpoint in the House
The tension began during a heated debate over the state’s current law and order situation. Tempers flared when words were exchanged between Rabri Devi and a BJP MLC. According to eyewitness accounts and reports, the back-and-forth escalated quickly. In a moment of visible anger, Rabri Devi reportedly moved aggressively toward the BJP member, prompting an immediate intervention.
RJD leaders, sensing the situation was spiraling out of control, quickly surrounded the former CM, holding her back and trying to calm the atmosphere. The incident led to an immediate adjournment as the House descended into chaos with slogans being shouted from both sides of the aisle.
Why the High Tempers?
This isn't just about a single argument. Political friction in Bihar has been at an all-time high following recent shifts in alliances. The opposition, led by the RJD, has been aggressively questioning the government on issues ranging from crime rates to administrative failures. On the other hand, the ruling NDA has been quick to fire back with personal jibes and reminders of past "Jungle Raj" allegations.
The BJP has strongly condemned the incident, calling it a "dark day" for the dignity of the Legislative Council. They’ve demanded an apology, claiming that such behavior from a senior leader and former CM sets a poor precedent. Meanwhile, RJD supporters argue that the provocation from the treasury benches was unbearable and that Rabri Devi was simply reacting to "insulting remarks" aimed at her family.
What This Means for Bihar Politics
This "near-clash" highlights the deep-seated bitterness between the RJD and the BJP. As the state moves closer to future electoral battles, the floor of the House has become a literal battlefield. For the common citizen, these disruptions often mean that important discussions on public welfare take a backseat to political theater.
Whether this incident leads to disciplinary action or further protests remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the political climate in Patna is currently at a boiling point.
