RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav publicly backed the ongoing student protest in Bihar, describing the demonstrators as angry and outraged over recent policy decisions.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Tejashwi Yadav voiced his support for the student movement that has taken to the streets across Bihar. In a statement released on Thursday, Yadav said the students are "angry and outraged" over what he described as recent policy measures that affect their academic and financial well‑being.
The protest, which began earlier this week, involves students from several colleges and universities demanding a review of fee structures and clearer guidelines on scholarship allocations. Yadav urged the state government to engage in dialogue with the demonstrators and address their grievances promptly.
Political analysts note that Yadav's intervention could intensify pressure on the Bihar administration, which has faced criticism for its handling of education reforms. The RJD leader emphasized that the youth's voice must be heard and that any neglect could erode public trust in the government.
The state government has not yet issued an official response to Yadav's comments, but officials indicated that they are monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to meet student representatives in the coming days.
The protest continues, with organizers planning further rallies if their demands are not met, while Yadav's backing adds a significant political dimension to the unfolding dispute.
