In a dramatic turn of events, several leaders from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) gathered at the residence of former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi to protest the recent downgrade of her security by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. RJD leaders claimed that this action was part of a broader strategy to humiliate prominent figures in their party, including Rabri Devi and her husband, Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is currently receiving medical treatment in Singapore. Rabri Devi has refused to vacate her long-occupied government bungalow, asserting her right to remain there despite an eviction notice. RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav stated that the party would take measures to ensure the safety of its leaders. Meanwhile, the NDA government dismissed the protests as pressure tactics, asserting that all security decisions were made in accordance with established rules. Senior BJP leaders emphasized that Rabri Devi and Lalu Prasad are receiving the security they are entitled to as former chief ministers, countering claims of political motivations behind the security downgrade.
