Tejashwi writes to Bihar CM demanding life-size statues of Ram Vilas, Sharad Yadav and Raghuvansh
Mr. Yadav’s move is seen as an addition to Rashtriya Janata Dal’s (RJD) broader plan of asserting itself as a party which stands for the “A to Z” castes and communities.
Bihar's Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has penned a letter to Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, requesting three life-size statues of late political figures Ram Vilas Paswan, Sharad Yadav, and Raghuvansh Prasad Singh. The statues would be displayed in the state and their anniversaries declared as public events. This move is part of the Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) strategy to assert its presence across various castes and communities, moving beyond its traditional base of Muslims and Yadavs.
The three individuals honored have all served as Union Ministers and made significant contributions to Bihar, spanning diverse socio-economic backgrounds - OBC Sharad Yadav, SC Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, and upper-caste Rajput Ram Vilas Paswan. Yadav emphasized the leaders' commitment to social justice and their enduring legacy, urging the state government to fulfill the late Raghuvansh Babu's unresolved requests made shortly before his death.
