Tejashwi Yadav sparks controversy in Bihar rally, saying “If we come to power, we’ll throw the Waqf Act into the dustbin.” The statement targets NDA ahead of Bihar Elections 2025.

Breaking News: Tejashwi Yadav’s Big Statement at Bihar Rally — “If We Come to Power, We’ll Throw the Waqf Law into the Dustbin”

 

Patna/Katihar: The political temperature in Bihar has risen after RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav made a bold statement during his election rally in Katihar. Yadav declared that if the INDIA alliance comes to power in the state, his government will “throw the Waqf Act into the dustbin.”

“If our government is formed, we will throw the Waqf Act into the dustbin,” said Tejashwi Yadav during his Bihar election campaign.

What is the Waqf Act?

In April 2025, the Indian Parliament passed the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2024. The NDA government described it as a transparent law aimed at empowering the Muslim community, women, and backward sections by ensuring better management of Waqf properties.

However, opposition parties including the RJD and the INDIA bloc allege that the law gives the government excessive control over Waqf properties and undermines the independence of minority institutions.

Tejashwi Targets BJP and Nitish Kumar

Yadav accused the BJP and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of dividing society for political gain. He said the ruling coalition is distracting people from real issues such as unemployment, inflation, and education.

He also took a direct jab at the BJP, calling it the “Bharat Jalao Party” — a reference to alleged communal politics being played across the state.

Why is the Statement Controversial?

• The Waqf Act is a central law, and any attempt to repeal or disregard it at the state level could raise constitutional questions.
• The BJP has condemned Tejashwi’s comments, calling them “irresponsible and unconstitutional.”
• Political experts believe Yadav’s remarks are aimed at consolidating minority votes ahead of the Bihar assembly elections.

Political Impact

The statement has sparked a new political debate in Bihar. With elections approaching, the Waqf law may emerge as one of the key talking points between the ruling NDA and the opposition INDIA bloc.
