Upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar has intensifies political tensions by spilling onto the streets through a fierce poster war. A provocative poster that surfaced near Patna’s busy Income Tax junction on Saturday has ignited a fresh exchange of slogans and accusations between the ruling and opposition parties.
The poster features a caricature of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad and his son, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, sitting on a buffalo—Tejashwi at the front and Lalu behind—both chewing grass. The caption mockingly states: “Mera Baap Chara Chor, Mujhe Vote Do” (My father is a fodder thief, vote for me), directly targeting Lalu Yadav’s conviction in the fodder scam.
Although no group has claimed responsibility, the poster has elicited strong reactions. Supporters of the RJD have condemned what they see as a deeply personal and inappropriate political attack. The party, however, has yet to issue an official response.
In response, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary defended the law’s verdict during an International Yoga Day event, emphasizing that Lalu Yadav has been legally declared a criminal by the Supreme Court, citing the fodder scam.
Meanwhile, the RJD launched its own poster campaign targeting the ruling NDA, accusing them of nepotism. These posters depict NDA leaders like Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, State Minister Ashok Choudhary, and the late Ram Vilas Paswan alongside their sons-in-law, sarcastically dubbing the alliance the “National Damaad (Sons-in-Law) Commission.”
This escalation in the poster war, filled with sarcasm and personal jabs, highlights the tense and competitive atmosphere as the election draws near
