Politics in the state has intensified after the statement given by former RJD National Vice President Shivanand Tiwari regarding Tejashwi Yadav being reduced to 25 seats in the Bihar Assembly elections (2025). Now BJP quota minister Mangal Pandey has reacted. While talking to journalists on Thursday (December 11, 2025), on one hand Mangal Pandey attacked RJD and on the other hand he also gave a statement on the encounter taking place in Bihar.

Journalists told Mangal Pandey that Shivanand Tiwari is saying that Tejashwi Yadav has fled the field. On this, Mangal Pandey said, “Very soon the fight within RJD will be visible outside, the rebellion against the leadership will be visible, the rebellion that took place in the family is visible, the rebellion in the party is also going to come out now.”

‘Whatever legal action is required will be taken’

Even today, an encounter took place in Patna. On this, Bihar Minister Mangal Pandey said, “It is very clear that no criminal can escape from committing a crime. Whatever legal action is required will be taken. It is being told repeatedly by the government that the perpetrators should either give up the crime or leave Bihar, otherwise the police will take action under the law and that action is being taken.”

What has Shivanand Tiwari said?

Shivanand Tiwari wrote from his social media handle on Wednesday (December 10, 2025) that Tejashwi is the son of Lalu Yadav. They are his heirs. Rather, the command of Rashtriya Janata Dal is now in the hands of Tejashwi. In the last elections, it was announced that Tejashwi Yadav would be the Chief Minister if the Grand Alliance gets majority, but this could not happen. Rather the opposite happened. Victory and defeat are natural and common rules in any field, but the most important question is how we take our victory or defeat. He advised that Tejashwi Yadav should return (from abroad) immediately. Travel in Bihar. Not like a leader but like a worker. Along with this, he has written many other things.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has suffered a crushing defeat in the assembly elections in Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav is seen blaming his own family for this party’s plight. Internal discord has started in the family of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. Meanwhile, former national vice president of RJD Shivanand Tiwari has vented his anger on social media.

Shivanand Tiwari, close to Lalu Yadav, has opened a front against Tejashwi Yadav by posting on the social media platform Facebook. He said that during the Bihar movement, Lalu Yadav and I were locked in the same room of Phulwari Sharif jail. Lalu Yadav was a big face of that movement, but his aspirations were very small. At night, when we were lying down on our respective posts to sleep after dinner, Lalu Yadav shared his future dreams with me.

Shivanand Tiwari narrated the story of jail

Shivanand Tiwari wrote, ‘Lalu told me that Baba, I want to become a leader like Ram Lakhan Singh Yadav. It seems that sometimes God above listens. Today it appears that his wish has been fulfilled. The entire family put in effort and only 25 MLAs of his party won.

Tejashwi removed me from the post of Vice President: Shivanand

The RJD leader said that a question may arise in the mind that I myself was the national vice president of that party. After that why am I saying such a thing? I was the national vice president. This is a thing of the past. Tejashwi Yadav not only removed me from the post of Vice President but also did not give me a place in the executive. Why so? Because I was saying that special intensive revision of voter list is a conspiracy against democracy.

Advised to take to the streets against SIR

He further said that take to the streets with Rahul Gandhi against SIR, struggle, get beaten by the police, go to jail, but he was taking oath as the Chief Minister in the dream world. By shaking her, I was disturbing her dreams. Lalu Yadav was preparing the throne for his son like Dhritarashtra. Now I am free. I have got some free time. Now I will keep telling stories.
