Brief By Newsbrief / 11:40 AM on 03 Jan 2026
Tejashwi Yadav returned to social media after a prolonged absence, reigniting a political exchange with the Bharatiya Janata Party. The RJD leader shared a video featuring controversial remarks by a BJP leader from Uttarakhand and accused the party of holding regressive views towards women. His post quickly gained traction, drawing sharp reactions from BJP leaders.
Responding to Yadav’s allegations, the BJP mounted a counterattack, questioning his long silence on social media and public issues. Party leaders sarcastically asked where he had been and labelled him “missing,” attempting to shift focus from the substance of his criticism to his absence from the political spotlight.
The exchange has intensified online political debate, with supporters from both sides engaging over issues of women’s safety, political accountability, and leadership credibility. Observers say the episode signals Tejashwi Yadav’s renewed digital engagement ahead of upcoming political developments in Bihar, while also highlighting the increasingly combative nature of political discourse on social media platforms.
