NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday mocked RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav by comparing him to Air Marshal Awadhesh Kumar Bharti , who played a pivotal role in Operation Sindoor as the Director General of Air Operations (DGAO).
In a social media post on X, BJP's Bihar unit highlighted the contrast between the two Bihar natives, stating, "One Bihari (AK Bharti) annihilated his enemies, while another, Lalu's heir, is still struggling to pass on his father's strength."
"The difference between patriotism and drama is clear!" it added.
A decorated officer, Air Marshal Bharti has been awarded Vayu Sena (VM) and Ati Vishisht Seva (AVSM) medals for his distinguished services.
In the run up to the assembly election, which is scheduled at the end of the year, a political slugfest has ensued in Bihar after Congress pulled up chief minister Nitish Kumar for turning his visit to the home of slain BSF jawan Mohammed Imtiaz into what it called a "red carpet event."
On Wednesday, Congress alleged that a road was hastily constructed in front of Imtiaz’s house and that red carpets and sofas were arranged in preparation for the chief minister’s visit.
"When Bihar’s CM Nitish Kumar visited the martyr’s home, a red carpet was laid out, comfortable sofas were arranged, and a road was hurriedly constructed. The martyr’s family is distraught, weeping uncontrollably, and the entire nation’s eyes are moist with grief," the post said.
"Yet, even on this tragic occasion, Bihar’s chief minister Nitish Kumar couldn’t refrain from his 'event baazi'. This insensitive and crass behaviour is like rubbing salt into the wounds of the martyr’s family. This is utterly shameful. The nation is watching," it added.
BSF sub-inspector Mohammed Imtiaz was killed when his BSF unit positioned along the international border in RS Pura sector came under heavy Pakistani firing on May 10, amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor.
"He, along with seven others, were wounded. While Imtiaz died of wounds, the others are stable and under treatment at a health facility," an official said.
