On 26th November, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav attacked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Hindu faith and said that ‘Ringing bells’ doe not do much. Speaking at the Nonia Samaj Mahasammelan held at the Darbhanga Medical Ground, he claimed that the CM just “rings bells” according to people in Uttar Pradesh as well.
Tejashwi said, “Yeh sab ladai, danga, fasaad nahin..ab toh UP ke log keh rahe hain..UP ke log aage kehta hai ki wahan ke jo mukhyamantri baba hain woh khali ghanti bajwa denge..lekin naukri lene Bihar hi ana pad raha hai. Samaj rahe hain? Ghanti bajane se pet bharega kya? (There is no fighting, rioting…now the people of UP are saying that the CM baba there only rings bells..but one has to come to Bihar for jobs. Do you understand? Will ringing bells bring food to the table?)
Theek hai astha hai, Bhagwan hain. Bhagwan ka ashirvaad chahiye. Puja paath dikhawti nahin hona chahiye. Lekin yeh sab dikhawti karta hai. Dil mein Bhagwan hona chahiye, mann mein Bhagwan hona chahiye, asli shraddha wahi hoti hai. Jhooth ka tika lagakar, bhagwa pehenkar, hehe hehe hoho hoho karnese nahin hota hai. (Fine, it is faith, there’s God. We need God’s blessings. But worshipping shouldn’t be for the sake of show-off. He (UP CM) does show off. God should be in the heart, that is true devotion. Putting fake tika, and wearing saffron is not it (devotion).”
The party members have been often found attacking the Hindu faith.
Prophet Muhammad was referred to as “Maryada Purushottam” (a man of dignified character) by Bihar Education Minister Chandrashekar Yadav in September. The term is used to describe the Hindu God Bhagwan Shri Ram.
However, a few days later, the minister said that he had seen Bhagwan Ram in a dream, who had instructed him to save him from being sold at auction.
Simultaneously, the minister from Bihar also made a comparison between potassium cyanide and the holy Hindu text Ramcharitmanas.
In October, RJD MLA Fateh Bahadur Singh made disparaging statements about the Hindu deity Goddess Durga and declared her to be a fictional figure.
