For Lalu Yadav, a dispute like ‘insulting Ambedkar’ just before the election is not good. Although Tejashwi Yadav has given a statement in defense of his father, but the dispute has not stopped. BJP leaders are carrying out a rage from different ends, and the SC Commission of Bihar has also given notice and asked Lalu Yadav to reply.
Even after some pictures of Lalu Yadav’s birthday, there was a dispute, but the controversy over Ambedkar’s picture increased more. In the earlier pictures and videos, Lalu Yadav’s political opponents were seeing his egoism. On the occasion of birthday, when supporters and workers were congratulating him by giving a bouquet, there was no reaction from Lalu Yadav, which people started being presented as being ignored on their behalf.
The controversy over ‘Ambedkar’s insult’ began when BJP’s IT Cell Chief Amit Malviya shared a video and raised this issue. Amit Malviya accused Lalu Yadav of ‘Babasaheb Ambedkar’s gross insulting’, and again after a week, he questioned why Lalu Yadav has not apologized till now?
After Amit Malviya, one by one BJP leaders have broken on Lalu Yadav in their own way. From Bihar leaders to Union Ministers. BJP leader is presenting Lalu Yadav as an anti -Dalit leader by raising the issue of insulting Ambedkar. Along with RJD, BJP leaders are also wrapping the Congress.
In December 2024, when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was besieging Amit Shah on the pretext of Ambedkar, Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi defended the BJP leader, now that Lalu Yadav is stuck in Ambedkar controversy, it will be interesting to see the attitude of the two leaders.
What is the issue of ‘insulting Ambedkar’ in Bihar
This dispute has come out through a video. On June 11, 2025, RJD leader Lalu Yadav was celebrating his birthday. On June 14, a video surfaced in which Lalu Yadav can be seen sitting on the chair. Lalu has put his feet on the second chair in front. Then a supporter brings the picture of Ambedkar in his hand, and the photo session with Lalu Yadav goes on. Video is also made.
It is seen that a person goes ahead and takes a picture of Ambedkar. There is no movement from Lalu Yadav. The same was seen when people were congratulating Lalu Yadav by presenting a bouquet. It seems that the supporter who has brought the picture, Lalu Yadav will not be shown. Because, they are sitting backwards. If you have seen before, then it is a different matter. Then Lalu Yadav cannot even get the benefit of doubt.
While sharing this video on social site X, Amit Malviya wrote that Lalu Yadav, who has described himself as a pioneer of social justice for decades, has grossly insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. Amit Malviya says, on his birthday, the picture of Babasaheb was kept at his feet and Lalu Yadav neither picked him up nor honored him, nor did it even think it necessary to touch. Those who call themselves as the contractor of social justice need the vote of the Dalit society, but do not fail to insult their adorable man. The Baba Saheb who brought justice to the underprivileged through the Constitution, today dropping them at the feet … It is not just an insult, it is exposed by a mindset.
Lalu Yadav’s son Tejashwi Yadav came to the rescue as the controversy increased and described the BJP as a false party. Tejashwi Yadav said, BJP has no meaning with Ambedkar or Constitution … Lalu Yadav has installed how many idols of Ambedkar has been installed in the whole of Bihar … We are people who follow Ambedkar’s ideology … BJP people are only propagating falsely.
Notice to Lalu Yadav
A notice has been sent to the former Chief Minister of Bihar on behalf of the Scheduled Castes Commission of the state on charges of insulting the picture of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. The Commission has asked Lalu Yadav to reply in 15 days, and a warning has been warned to file an FIR for not giving clarification.
Bihar Scheduled Caste Commission Deputy Chairman Devendra Kumar has written in the notice issued to RJD chief Lalu Yadav, a video of your birthday is constantly being seen on social media. AAP and one of your activists are insulting the photo of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, the creator of the Constitution. Therefore, you are instructed to put your side before the Commission within 15 days regarding the said video, otherwise it will be understood that you have done this act intentionally.
Why not affect BJP’s attacks on Lalu Yadav
Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary, former Bihar BJP President Nityanand Rai and Union Minister Giriraj Singh have also tried to put Lalu Yadav in the dock. Everyone’s efforts seem to surround Lalu Yadav in the name of Dalit society. Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal says, Lalu Prasad Yadav had a birthday on June 11 … That day a statue of Baba Saheb comes to offer him to him, but he forgot in the ego that when the Constitution was implemented 75 years, people offered the idol of Baba Saheb in his honor … The messiah of Dalits and backward people insult Baba Saheb, and they are not asking for the ego … Is, the people of Bihar are going to teach such an egoistic leader a lesson.
BJP leaders are attackers, and Amit Malviya is continuing a campaign. It is written that the poster seen on the streets of Patna has once again raised questions on the RJD’s anti -Dalit mentality … The direct question in the poster … It has been 7 days, when will Lalu and Tejashwi apologize? Why silence on the insult of Baba Saheb Ambedkar so far? Is this the claim of social justice?
Lalu Yadav is silent despite the BJP being targeted. Are not reacting. Are Lalu Yadav waiting for a special opportunity to respond to BJP’s attacks? Last year, after the issue of insult of Ambedkar, Amit Shah had to clarify. After all, why is BJP not able to pressurize Lalu Yadav?
