Bihar’s political landscape heated up as BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary took a sharp dig at the Lalu Prasad Yadav-led government during a heated debate in the Assembly. Criticizing the 15-year rule of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), he accused the previous administration of neglecting development while focusing on entertainment and political theatrics.

Samrat Choudhary’s Attack on the Lalu Era

During his speech, Choudhary stated, "No work was done in 15 years… there was singing, dancing, and boy dancing," in a direct attack on Lalu Prasad Yadav’s governance. His remarks suggested that instead of focusing on infrastructure, education, and economic growth, the previous government engaged in distractions that did little to improve Bihar’s condition.

Key Points of His Criticism

• Lack of Development: He argued that during RJD’s tenure, Bihar lagged in key sectors like roads, electricity, and healthcare.
• Law and Order Issues: He blamed the previous government for lawlessness and poor governance.
• Political Theatrics: His reference to "singing and dancing" implied that the leadership focused more on political entertainment than actual administration.

Reactions from the Opposition

• Assembly Tensions Rise: The remarks led to uproar in the House, with heated exchanges between ruling and opposition members.

Political Impact
