# Tejashwi Yadav demands CM Samrat Choudhary’s resignation over Jamui incident 2026-09-22T12:12:07+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 5 independent outlets RJD leader and Bihar Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday demanded Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary's resignation over the alleged harassment of two minor students in Jamui. A viral video showed a boy and a girl being harassed by a group on a roadside. Yadav said the incident showed women and girls are not safe in Bihar and accused the government of allowing 'gundaraaj'. He also referred to an earlier statement by Choudhary in which he had said he would resign if anyone was harmed in Munger. The BJP-led NDA government defended its response. Union ministers Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan' and Jitan Ram Manjhi hit back, alleging the security situation was worse during RJD rule. Manjhi pointed out that most of the accused belonged to Yadav's caste. Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi also criticised the government. Police have arrested five accused, including two injured in an encounter. The minor girl and boy were said to be students at the same coaching centre. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Opposition leaders framed the incident as a collapse of law and order under the current government, while NDA leaders emphasised swift arrests and contrasted it with RJD's pre-2005 record. Manjhi's caste remark injected identity politics. The balanced reading is that both sides are using the incident for political leverage, but the core facts are undisputed: a harassment video went viral, arrests have been made, and the victim's family awaits justice. The investigation outcome and court proceedings will determine accountability beyond political rhetoric. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com (government critical) Leads with Yadav's demand for resignation and claim that women are not safe - freepressjournal.in (neutral report) Agency feed, straight report of Yadav's press conference without added commentary - nationalheraldindia.com (neutral report) Straight report of Yadav's demand, includes both opposition and NDA responses - timesnownews.com (sensationalist) Uses dramatic language like 'Horror', 'Gundaraaj', 'Challenge' in headline - newindianexpress.com (neutral report) Presents both sides extensively, includes NDA counter-arguments and caste angle Tags: Bihar, Jamui, RJD, Samrat Choudhary, Tejashwi Yadav Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tejashwi-yadav-demands-cm-choudharys-resignation-over-jamui-incident/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
