Tejashwi Yadav booked in Maharashtra: BJP MLA files complaint over ‘objectionable’ post on PM Narendra Modi | Patna News

NEW DELHI: An FIR has been registered against RJD leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli for allegedly posting objectionable and defamatory content against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media platform X.The complaint was lodged by Milind Ramji Narote, a BJP MLA from Gadchiroli, on Friday.

Police said the case has been registered at the Gadchiroli Police Station under sections 196(1)(a)(b), 356(2)(3), 352, and 353(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said he is not afraid of any FIR.Tejashwi Yadav says, “Who is scared of an FIR? Saying the word ‘jumla’ has also become a crime. They fear the truth. We are not scared of any FIR and we speak the truth.”According to the FIR, the alleged objectionable post was related to PM Modi’s visit to Gaya district in Bihar on Friday, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of development projects worth Rs 13,000 crore.Before inaugurating the projects, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a roadshow in Gaya accompanied by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and deputy chief ministers Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha.He also flagged off two trains — the Amrit Bharat Express between Gaya and Delhi, aimed at improving passenger convenience with modern facilities and safety, and the Buddhist Circuit Train between Vaishali and Koderma, expected to boost tourism and religious travel to key Buddhist sites.Addressing a rally in Gaya, the Prime Minister launched a sharp attack on the Opposition, accusing it of corruption and criticising the previous RJD-Congress governments in Bihar. He described the RJD’s rule as “an era of darkness.”“Remember the condition here during the rule of lantern (RJD). This region was in the clutches of red terror. Cities like Gaya Ji were in darkness during the rule of ‘lantern’ (RJD). They had pushed the entire state into darkness. There was no education or employment. So many generations were forced to migrate. RJD considers the people of Bihar only as their vote bank. They want nothing to do with their life, sorrows, or respect.” Notably, the assembly elections in Bihar are expected to take place between October and November; however, the dates for the polls have not been announced yet.
