Hindu-Muslim पर दहाड़ने वाले BJP नेता काम पर क्यों हुए ख़ामोश? | Bihar Elections Ground Report
In this candid and intense walking discussion, Neeraj Jha with Haribhushan Thakur, a prominent Indian politician from Bihar and a Member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly, to discuss the pressing issues of the Bihar elections and his controversial statements. Thakur, who won the Bishfi Assembly seat in the 2020 Bihar Legislative Elections on a BJP ticket, is known for his inflammatory remarks, particularly his comments in February 2022. Referring to the creation of Pakistan after India's partition, Thakur suggested that Muslims should be deprived of their voting rights—a statement that sparked significant outrage. While his party distanced itself from his views, calling it his personal opinion, the statement led to protests in the Bihar Assembly, particularly from opposition parties. Throughout the interview, Neeraj Jha tries to probe deeper into Thakur's controversial stance, but Thakur, under pressure, struggles to provide clear answers on social issues, revealing a lack of concrete understanding about Bihar’s socio-political landscape. Thakur, often defensive, fails to offer solutions and instead ends up criticizing the opposition, pointing to their inability to address real issues. Despite his role as a BJP representative, Thakur's inability to justify the state government's failures or provide coherent solutions leaves him walking into rhetorical traps. This discussion uncovers how a political figure, known for his Muslim-phobic remarks, is unable to articulate a vision for Bihar’s development and how the ruling party's failure to address fundamental issues in the state is becoming more apparent as elections approach. Watch the full interview to see how Haribhushan Thakur falters under scrutiny and why his views on Bihar are so problematic.
