October 17, 2025

Mumbai: The battle of Bihar is getting intense, and colourful with the approaching assembly elections. The Padma Shri awardee, actor Manoj Bajpayee recently found himself at the centre of a poll campaign video doctored by the IT wing of Rashtriya Janata Dal.

The 4 time National Award-winning actor slammed the creators of the video for unlawfully using his personality and imagery without his consent, for electoral gains and swinging the voters.

Tejashwi Yadav posted video

Tejashwi Yadav, the son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, took to his X, formerly Twitter, and shared the now deleted doctored video which aims to woo the voters in the favour of Rashtriya Janata Dal.

Calling out the party for their unethical use of the video, which Manoj shot for a streaming platform, the actor penned a long note quoting the original tweet of Tejashwi Yadav, the Chief Minister (CM) candidate from Mahagathbandhan.

He wrote, “I would like to publicly state that I have no association or allegiance with any political party. The video being circulated is a fake, patched-up edit of an ad I did for @PrimeVideoIN . I sincerely appeal to everyone sharing it to stop spreading such distorted content and urge people not to engage with or encourage such misleading content”.

The electoral war in Bihar is slowly turning into a tornado with its stakeholders adding up to the centripetal force. Earlier on Thursday, Tejashwi Yadav inducted Khesari Lal Yadav and his wife Chanda Devi in the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
