Tejashwi Yadav, senior leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, led a procession of party workers and supporters on the streets of Patna, heading towards the state’s Raj Bhavan. The march was organized to confront the state administration over a recent incident in which several students were injured by an AK‑47 firearm.
The RJD chief repeatedly asked the chief minister why there has been no public comment or action regarding the shooting, calling the silence unacceptable. He urged the government to launch a swift investigation and provide medical and legal assistance to the victims.
