What’s inside:
This article discusses the protests by local people against RJD MLAs in Bihar as assembly elections approach.
In Patna, there is growing anger among party workers and local residents against the current MLAs of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Just before the Bihar assembly elections, on Tuesday, many people protested outside the home of former Chief Minister Rabri Devi, demanding action against MLA Rekha Devi from the draft assembly constituency.
The protesters raised concerns about unresolved basic issues like roads, electricity, water supply, and job opportunities. They accused Rekha Devi of being inactive and not engaging with the public. The protest turned tense when they attempted to stop Lalu Prasad Yadav’s car, but later, Rabri Devi called them in to listen to their complaints.
This protest is not an isolated incident. Recently, residents from Makhdumpur also demonstrated outside the same location against RJD MLA Satish Kumar Das. They claimed that he has not done any work for their area and warned that if he is chosen as a candidate again, the party will face certain defeat. They are pushing for new candidates to be considered this time.
In response to the unrest, the RJD spokesperson stated that as elections approach, many people come to the party residence hoping to secure tickets. He mentioned that this situation is common across various political parties. The final decision on candidates will be made by party leader Lalu Prasad Yadav.
As the assembly elections draw closer, the pressure is on the RJD to address these local grievances. It remains to be seen how the party will respond to the demands of the protesters and who will ultimately be selected as candidates for the upcoming elections.
