Education, Identity, and Political Allegations in Bihar
Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi strongly countered RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s remarks about the RSS, asserting that Yadav lacks education and knowledge about the subject. Manjhi emphasized his own educational achievements despite facing challenges as a member of the scheduled castes, stating, “Wo Padhe Nahi Hai, Padhai Ka Marham Kya Jaane.” He acknowledged the RSS as a nationalist organization, though he clarified that he doesn’t belong to it. This exchange highlights ongoing tensions in Bihar politics, especially regarding accountability after recent incidents of arson.
