BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya on Wednesday hit out at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin joined Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur.

Malviya accused Tejashwi of prioritizing political optics over people’s concerns, saying he had “rolled out a red carpet” for Stalin at a time when Bihar is grappling with unemployment, law-and-order issues, and rampant corruption.

“Tejashwi Yadav has nothing to offer the people of Bihar except political drama. By hosting Stalin, he is trying to hide his failures and shift attention from the collapsing governance in Bihar,” Malviya posted on social media, sharpening the BJP’s attack on the INDIA bloc.

The sharp criticism came hours after Stalin, flanked by Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Dipankar Bhattacharya, accused the BJP of subverting democracy and alleged that the deletion of 65 lakh voters in Bihar was “worse than terrorism.”

Malviya dismissed these charges as “baseless rhetoric” designed to mislead the public, insisting that the BJP-led NDA remained the people’s choice in Bihar. He also targeted Tejashwi for “seeking shelter under outside leaders” instead of addressing ground realities.

The clash highlights how the Muzaffarpur rally has turned into a flashpoint, with the INDIA bloc making vote theft and democratic subversion central to its campaign narrative, while the BJP has countered by portraying opposition leaders as opportunists desperate to unite against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
