With Meeting elections looming in Bihar, political rivalry has spilled onto the streets in a no-holds-barred poster warfare. A provocative poster that appeared close to Patna’s busy Earnings Tax intersection on Saturday has triggered a recent confrontation between the ruling and opposition events.

The poster depicts Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad and his son, Chief of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, seated on a buffalo — Tejashwi in entrance and Lalu behind, chewing grass.

The caption reads: “Mera Baap Chara Chor, Mujhe Vote Do” (My father is a fodder thief, vote for me) — a direct and mocking reference to Lalu Yadav’s conviction within the fodder rip-off.

Whereas no group has claimed accountability, the poster has sparked sharp reactions. RJD supporters have expressed anger over what they view as a deeply private and indecent political assault. The occasion, nonetheless, has not but issued an official response.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, responding to the controversy throughout an Worldwide Yoga Day occasion, doubled down on the criticism. “Lalu Yadav has been declared a banned legal by the Supreme Courtroom. The fodder rip-off was dedicated by him. So, the place is the second opinion on this? All courts have mentioned he’s a fodder thief,” he mentioned.

In retaliation, the RJD has launched its personal poster marketing campaign, this time accusing the ruling NDA of nepotism.

Posters have appeared at a number of locations depicting NDA leaders reminiscent of Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, State Minister Ashok Choudhary, and the late Ram Vilas Paswan alongside their sons-in-law.

The posters mockingly label the alliance because the “Nationwide Damaad Fee” (Nationwide Sons-in-Regulation Fee), accusing it of nepotism.

The escalating poster warfare — laced with sarcasm, private jibes, and viral slogans — displays the high-stakes environment forward of the polls.
