Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday dubbed RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav as the "Gabbar of Bihar," blaming him for the state's industrial decline and accusing his family of deep-rooted corruption. Defending CM Nitish Kumar, Choudhary dismissed opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav’s criticism and highlighted NDA's efforts toward development, including pension reforms and new industries. The RJD hit back, calling Lalu a symbol of social justice and accusing Choudhary of political opportunism.
