The Bihar government, led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, has withdrawn the Z+ security cover for former Chief Minister Rabri Devi and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, prompting a strong backlash from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). In protest, Rabri Devi returned the security personnel stationed at her Patna residence, describing the government's action as politically motivated and detrimental to democratic principles. RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav condemned the decision, suggesting it was a tactic to intimidate the opposition. He highlighted the recent incident where Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition, was hit by a vehicle, questioning the government's intent behind reducing security for prominent political figures. The RJD argues that this move is part of a broader strategy to weaken the opposition. Despite the government's actions, the RJD asserts that its influence remains strong among the public, stating that no reduction in security will diminish its role in Bihar politics. This incident marks a significant flashpoint in the ongoing tensions between the ruling party and the RJD.
