Tejashwi Yadav Alleges Modi Canceled Bihar Visit Ahead of Bankipur Bypoll
Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of Opposition in Bihar, alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi canceled a planned Bihar visit due to anticipated BJP defeat in the Bankipur bypoll amid student unrest and government unpopularity. Yadav demanded a judicial inquiry into police firing and announced that an RJD-led government would provide pensions to students jailed or injured during protests. The Bihar government has withdrawn cases against protesters, responding to public pressure. The bypoll is seen as a contest between RJD-backed Rekha Gupta and BJP nominee Neera Kumar Sinha.
