"The new generation needs to know the truth." - Arvind Kumar Singh
Patna, May 14: As the political battle heats up ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a sharp offensive against RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his son and Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, through a new video titled 'Ghotalebaz' (scamster).

Tensions rise ahead of Bihar Assembly elections

The over three-minute song, crafted using AI-powered visual effects, accuses the father-son duo of being central figures in multiple scams, including the fodder scam and the ongoing IRCTC land-for-job case.

The video, widely circulated on social media, paints a satirical yet scathing picture of the RJD leadership, reviving past corruption charges.

BJP leader, Arvind Kumar Singh, said, "This video shows how Lalu Yadav was involved in one scam after another, and how Tejashwi Yadav became a crorepati despite being a minor. The new generation needs to know the truth."

Reacting sharply, RJD spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwari said, "The BJP has no moral authority to talk about corruption. The double-engine government is itself knee-deep in corruption and crime. What about the Srijan scam, Muzaffarpur shelter home case, or the collapsing bridges during the NDA rule?"

Tiwari accused the BJP of diverting attention from governance failures while asserting that the public has not forgotten the "misgovernance" and "scandals" under the National Democratic Alliance's watch.

Despite Lalu's limited political activity due to health and legal constraints, the RJD's momentum is largely being carried forward by Tejashwi.

Meanwhile, the IRCTC land-for-job scam, dating back to Lalu's tenure as Railway Minister, continues to haunt the RJD.

Several members of the Yadav family, including Rabri Devi, Tej Pratap, and Misa Bharti, are under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

As the political slugfest intensifies, all eyes are now on the upcoming campaign strategies and alliances that will shape Bihar's 2025 electoral narrative.

This AI video trend in politics is getting out of hand. Instead of creative campaigning, it's becoming a tool for character assassination. Both BJP and RJD have corruption cases - why not focus on development agendas? Bihar needs roads and jobs, not mudslinging matches.

As a Bihari, I'm tired of this cycle - Lalu's family scams vs BJP's empty promises. Tejashwi talks about jobs but where are they? And BJP keeps digging old cases instead of showing their work. 2025 election should be about Bihar's future, not past grudges 🤦‍♀️

The fodder scam looted money meant for poor farmers' livestock. If BJP has proof of new corruption, they should let courts decide instead of making songs. But RJD can't play victim either - their leaders need to answer serious allegations properly.

Why only target RJD? What about corruption in BJP-ruled states? This selective outrage won't fool voters. Bihar needs clean politics from ALL parties. Young voters like me want solutions for education and healthcare, not these drama videos going viral.

The land-for-job scam shows how political families exploit systems. But BJP's video seems more about polarizing than informing. If they're serious about corruption, bring strong Lokpal laws instead of making memes. Bihar deserves better than this tamasha before elections.
