North India Statesman
News India Live, Digital Desk: The latest incident in Bihar politics remains a topic of discussion. In fact, when RJD’s youth leader Tejashwi Yadav landed at Patna airport, the enthusiasm and crowd which is usually seen in his presence was not visible there. And the most shocking thing that veteran party leader Shivanand Tiwari noticed was that the party’s response to welcome Not a single MLA Was not present there.
Why was there silence instead of display of strength?
Shivanand Tiwari, who is often known to express his opinion openly, has clearly raised the question as to why no party leader or MLA came to receive Tejashwi. In a state like Bihar, where even airport photos are a part of ‘show of strength’, Tejashwi’s appearance alone is giving rise to many speculations.
Where is Shivanand Tiwari pointing?
If seen, this statement of Shivanand Tiwari is not just a general comment. There may be many meanings hidden behind this:
- lack of understanding: Has there been a gap in communications between the MLAs and the high command within the party?
- New Strategy: Is RJD now trying to change the old ‘show of strength’ style and put more emphasis on work?
- Indifference of leaders: Or are there some things going on behind the scenes that are being suppressed?
Social media and opposition’s perspective
The opposition has found an issue while sitting. People have now started discussing whether people within RJD are looking for a different path? However, Tejashwi Yadav’s supporters may argue that he might have decided to come simply or follow the protocol, but Shivanand Tiwari raising questions on it makes the matter serious.
There was a stir in internal politics
For any party, its youth leadership is like the backbone. Shivanand Tiwari, somewhere in a hushed tone, has questioned the strength of the organization which seemed wavering with the arrival of its own leader. Amidst the upcoming elections and alliance turmoil, it will be important for Tejashwi Yadav to strengthen his hold again so that the public and their own leaders retain faith.
Till now there has been no major official clarification on this from RJD, but now there is a heated debate in the streets of Patna on this issue, “Is the wind changing within RJD?”
