Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi has claimed that her son, Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, is facing a serious threat to his life. She alleged that there have been four separate attempts made to assassinate him in the past. Rabri Devi has now called on the Bihar government to immediately strengthen Tejashwi Yadav’s security.
The comments came a day after heated arguments and disruptions in the Bihar Legislative Assembly between the ruling coalition and the opposition. Rabri Devi addressed the media outside the Vidhan Parishad and directly accused the BJP-JDU alliance of being responsible for the threats.
According to Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav has been the target of four life-threatening attacks. Without disclosing full details of the incidents, she insisted that the attacks were politically motivated and that her son continues to be in danger because of his political stance and popularity.
Rabri Devi Targets NDA, Cites Political Conspiracy
Speaking outside the Council, Rabri Devi used strong language against the ruling parties, stating that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) are conspiring to eliminate Tejashwi Yadav. She accused both parties of orchestrating multiple murder attempts, reflecting the rising tensions between the opposition and the ruling coalition in Bihar.
She warned that the political environment in Bihar is becoming increasingly unsafe, especially for leaders who challenge the government’s decisions and expose administrative failures. Rabri Devi claimed that such attacks are part of a broader plan to silence dissent and weaken the opposition in the state.
Government and Election Commission Under Fire
In addition to raising concerns about her son’s safety, Rabri Devi also launched a scathing attack on the Bihar government and the Election Commission. She alleged that both institutions are involved in a systematic attempt to deny four crore Biharis their fundamental right to vote.
She said that a large number of Bihar’s residents have been forced to migrate to other states due to a lack of employment opportunities and government support. According to her, the ruling government is trying to exploit this migration to remove these people from the state’s voter list.
Rabri Devi believes that deleting names of genuine voters who are currently living outside Bihar due to economic compulsion is a deliberate move. She said it is aimed at influencing the outcome of future elections in the state by reducing the voting power of the opposition’s support base.
Allegations Amid Political Tensions in Bihar
The allegations come at a time when the political climate in Bihar is already heated. Several recent issues have widened the gap between the ruling alliance and opposition leaders. Discussions over the special voter list revision process, governance challenges, and allegations of misuse of government agencies have dominated the legislative debates in recent sessions.
Rabri Devi’s latest statement has intensified this political turmoil. While the ruling parties have yet to officially respond to her allegations, political analysts believe the opposition will likely use this issue to mobilize support in the coming weeks.
The concern about voter disenfranchisement is expected to become a major political issue in Bihar, especially with state and national elections approaching in the next year. The Election Commission has stated that voter list revisions are conducted in accordance with established rules, but opposition leaders continue to question the process and its timing.
Rabri Devi Demands Immediate Government Action
Rabri Devi has made a strong appeal to the Bihar government to take the threats against her son seriously and act immediately to ensure his safety. She emphasized that Tejashwi Yadav is a prominent political figure and a former Deputy Chief Minister who deserves full protection from state security forces.
She also urged the Election Commission to clarify its stance on the alleged voter list removals and take necessary steps to ensure that no eligible voter is unfairly excluded from exercising their democratic rights.
As public attention turns to these serious claims, political observers are waiting to see how the government responds and whether an investigation will be launched into the alleged assassination attempts and voter list controversies.
Rabri Devi’s explosive allegations about threats to Tejashwi Yadav’s life and the systematic disenfranchisement of millions of Bihari voters have added a new layer of complexity to Bihar’s political narrative.
Her demand for enhanced security and electoral transparency touches two of democracy’s core principles—safety of public representatives and the right to vote. As these issues gain momentum in public discourse, both the government and the Election Commission will face growing pressure to act with transparency and responsibility.
Whether these claims lead to real action or become another point of political friction remains to be seen, but for now, they have certainly captured the attention of Bihar’s political landscape.
