Mahadangal: BJP vs Tejashwi Yadav, War of Words Heats Up Over 'Namazwad', Waqf Law, and Religious Politics in Bihar

With elections in Bihar just two months away, the political atmosphere is charged as the BJP continues its sharp attack on RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. After recently branding socialists as “Namazwadis,” the BJP today once again accused Tejashwi of appeasement politics, claiming that he supports Sharia law and Halal practices. Referring to his remarks on the Waqf Act, BJP leaders expressed outrage, suggesting that people like Tejashwi should consider moving to Pakistan if they support such views. Tejashwi Yadav hit back, accusing the BJP of spreading hatred. He asserted that he will beautify both temples and mosques and that his politics is based on “karma,” not religion. He said BJP is trying to polarize voters instead of focusing on real issues. His comment about throwing the Waqf Act amendment into the dustbin has sparked major controversy, with BJP leaders questioning whether a state government can reject a central law. As the political temperature rises, questions are being raised about whether BJP is using religion to counter Tejashwi’s social justice platform and secure Hindu votes. Meanwhile, Tejashwi appears to be consolidating Muslim support by challenging the Waqf Act and advocating for religious harmony.
