Tejashwi Yadav, RJD working president, lashed out at Maithili Thakur on Friday for her critical remarks about his party's tenure in Bihar. Thakur, who transitioned from a singer to a politician, likened RJD's leadership to the mythological character Dhritarashtra's affection for Duryodhana.

Though Yadav did not directly name the BJP MLA, he shared a picture of her in his social media post, condemning her comments. He argued that some new legislators presuppose political expertise without fully understanding legislative processes, making disparaging remarks about RJD leaders.

Addressing Thakur's silence, Yadav reproached her for not speaking against the recent rape and murder of a Dalit girl in Darbhanga, which is her constituency. He also pointed out her inconsistency in criticizing 'jungle raj' under RJD while her party struggles with similar issues.
