A video of the incident has been shared by news agency PTI where the RJD leader can be seen saying, “Ay sipahi, ek gaana bajayenge uspe tumko thumka lagana hai. Bura na mano holi hai. Thumka lagao nahi toh suspend kar diye jaaoge (I will play a song, and you have to shake a leg. don’t feel bad, it’s Holi. Dance or else you would be suspended.)
After a few moments, the former state minister began singing a song. The cop joined in, raising his hands in the air and seemingly dancing along. Tej Pratap also participated in ‘kurta faad,’ where people’s clothes are torn after applying colour on them.
BJP, JDU React
Leaders from ruling JDU and BJP reacted to the incident and condemned Lalu Yadav’s eldest son’s behaviour.
Reacting to the incident, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, “Like father, like son. First, the father – as the then CM used to make law dance to his tunes and turn Bihar into a jungle raj. Now, the son, despite being out of power, attempts to make laws and protectors of law dance to his tunes through threats and pressure. He threatens Police personnel with suspension if he doesn’t dance. This shows that RJD believes in jungle raj…If they come to power even by mistake, they would violate law and make protectors of law dance…This is a trailer. So, it is important to keep them away from power…"
JDU spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan said, “Jungleraaj has ended but Yuvraj of Lalu Yadav is threatening a policeman about the consequences if he (the policeman) will not comply with what he is instructing (to dance). Bihar has now changed. Be it Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav or any of the family members of Lalu Yadav – they need to understand that such acts have no place in the environment of this changing Bihar," he told ANI.
