Owaisi vs. Tejashwi: A Clash That’s Rocking Bihar’s Politics
The political battlefield in Bihar is sizzling as AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav engage in a war of words ahead of the high-stakes elections. Owaisi’s viral taunt—“Babu, write extremist in English”—has not only mocked Yadav’s credibility but also exposed the cracks in Bihar’s opposition unity.
The Provocation: What Sparked the Feud?
The drama unfolded when Tejashwi Yadav, the Mahagathbandhan’s CM face, accused Owaisi of being a “BJP’s B-team” for splitting minority votes. Owaisi, known for his sharp comebacks, retorted with a sarcastic challenge: “If you can write ‘extremist’ in English, then we can talk.” The dig, questioning Yadav’s intellectual depth, has set social media ablaze and deepened the rift between the two leaders.
Why This Fight Matters for Bihar
- Divided Opposition = BJP’s Gain?
- Owaisi’s AIMIM won 5 seats in 2020, fragmenting the Muslim vote bank crucial for RJD.
-
BJP could capitalize on this disunity to retain power with JD(U).
-
Battle for Muslim-Yadav Votes
-
Tejashwi relies on MY (Muslim-Yadav) consolidation, but Owaisi’s rise threatens his dominance.
-
Elitism vs. Grassroots Rhetoric
- Owaisi’s jibe targets Yadav’s perceived elitism, positioning himself as the voice of Bihar’s marginalized.
What’s Next for Bihar’s Political Chessboard?
With polls nearing, the Owaisi-Yadav spat risks weakening the anti-BJP front. Meanwhile, the BJP is likely to amplify the “opposition in disarray” narrative. Voters now face a choice between a fractured Mahagathbandhan and a stable NDA—a dilemma that could decide Bihar’s future.
