Tejashwi Yadav Cites 50 Cases to Allege Surge in Crimes Against Women in Bihar

The RJD says it will take the fight from the Assembly to the streets to press for action on women’s safety.

Overview

  • Tejashwi Yadav, speaking Tuesday in Patna, released a date-wise list of 50 incidents reported in the month after Samrat Choudhary became chief minister on April 15.
  • He accused the BJP-led state government of shielding offenders and said newspapers show daily reports of rape, assault, and killings of women across districts.
  • He announced a statewide agitation, saying the party will escalate the issue beyond the legislature to demand justice and stronger protection for women.
  • He argued women’s welfare is being treated as optics, citing a claim that 65% of women are anaemic and pointing to pending promised instalments after a ₹10,000 transfer under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana.
  • He invoked the Muzaffarpur shelter-home abuse case to question accountability, noting his list draws on media reports and that coverage so far shows no formal state rebuttal.
