As things stands Not a single condemnation has come from RJP leadership or Tejaswi yadav, even though the victim, Ajay Yadav, belonged to the very caste they claim to uplift. Currently it is known that Tejaswi Yadav is in a campaign to Rally the Muslim vote bank against the Waqf amendment bill so many believe that RJD leadership is deeply entangled in Muslim appeasement. This gives a message to their Yadav voters that they are expendable. Instead of standing for justice, the leadership seems more concerned with optics, coalition arithmetic, and keeping Islamist hardliners pacified.
In the end, this isn’t just about one death. It’s about a larger identity crisis — where the very people who built the foundation of a party are now paying the price for their leaders’ opportunism and hypocrisy.
