In a recent development, Bihar's political landscape has heated up following Baba Bageshwar's controversial statement during his Hanuman Katha in Gopalganj. Baba Bageshwar called for a padyatra (march) in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh for the establishment of a Hindu nation. His remarks have stirred the political climate, with the BJP supporting his initiative. Bihar BJP legislator Hari Bhushan Bachoul echoed the call, stating that Bihar is a Hindu state and that any movement strengthening Sanatan Dharma should have the BJP's support. While Baba Bageshwar's statement garnered backing from BJP members, opposition parties such as RJD have criticized it. RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari condemned the divisive politics of the BJP, arguing that such statements could lead to a communal divide in Bihar, a state traditionally known for its harmony. Tiwari emphasized that the people of Bihar want development, education, healthcare, and jobs, not politics based on religious division. The JD(U), a key ally of the BJP in Bihar, has remained cautious, with party leaders like Shravan Kumar refusing to comment directly on Baba Bageshwar's statements. As elections approach, the political situation in Bihar is becoming increasingly polarized, with debates over religious identity and nationalism heating up.
