As the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) continues protests over Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi made a shocking claim, alleging a bid to kill Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav.
While addressing the media, Rabri Devi raised serious allegations against the ruling BJP-JD(U) alliance, claiming a conspiracy to assassinate Tejashwi Yadav amid growing protests over the controversial SIR exercise.
“We have been surrounding the Assembly since 5 days. The state government must respond… There have been four attempts to kill Tejashwi Yadav, and his life is in danger… The BJP and JD(U) are the ones who are conspiring,” she said. Rabri Devi accused the BJP of snatching the people’s right to vote.
While the Election Commission insists that the SIR exercise is a routine, court-monitored process aimed at eliminating bogus voters, the opposition has claimed that it risks the disenfranchisement of millions, particularly migrant workers and economically vulnerable citizens who may struggle to meet document requirements.

Rabri Devi also levelled shocking allegations against Deputy Bihar Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary, claiming she had known him since childhood and he used to harass girls and engage in hooliganism at Boring Road.
“I know him since childhood… he used to do hooliganism at Boring Road. He used to harass girls at Boring Road,” she said.

Her remarks followed a heated altercation between Choudhary and Tejashwi Yadav in the Bihar Assembly on Thursday over the Election Commission’s ongoing SIR process. The BJP leader targeted Tejashwi personally and said, “Who are you? The one whose father is a criminal, what will he say? Get lost… you’re a lootera – lootera… what will he say?”
In response, Tejashwi Yadav said, “If you speak too loudly, you’ll get wet.” The RJD leader later reiterated that the parties in the opposition alliance could boycott the upcoming elections in Bihar if the Election Commission’s voter roll revision in Bihar was not stopped.
The Bihar SIR row has been at the centre of opposition protests in the Parliament, resulting in five consecutive days of disruptions as MPs raised slogans and displayed placards demanding a rollback of the exercise.
Elections are likely to be held in Bihar around October-November, as the term of the assembly ends in November.
