Overview

• BJP figures including Amit Malviya, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha condemned a clip they say captures abusive language at Tejashwi Yadav’s Bihar Adhikar Yatra stop in Mahua.
• RJD MLA Mukesh Roushan denied any abuse by party workers and alleged the video shared by the BJP was manipulated to defame Tejashwi Yadav and the party.
• News reports note no independent verification of the latest clip, continuing recent disputes over edited or AI-altered political videos in the state.
• The row follows August’s Darbhanga arrest over alleged slurs at a Congress-linked event and earlier confrontations that led to an FIR, a statewide bandh and street clashes in Patna.
• Coverage suggests BJP leaders plan to keep highlighting the episode as a campaign issue, framing it as a question of political decency rather than policy.
