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.
