Ahead of the upcoming elections, political parties in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are grappling with internal rebellions sparked by the Waqf Amendment Bill. Bihar’s ruling party, JD(U), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has been shaken after 10 party leaders resigned in protest of the bill’s passage in Parliament. These leaders, primarily from the Muslim community, were upset by the party’s support for the bill, which they believe undermines the interests of the Muslim community. This has raised questions about the future of JD(U) in Bihar, especially since it has long prided itself on its secular image. In Uttar Pradesh, the RLD is facing similar unrest. Party leader Jayant Chaudhary’s support for the Waqf Amendment Bill has led to discontent within the ranks. Mohammad Zaki, the district secretary of RLD in Hapur, resigned, accusing the party of ignoring issues affecting the Muslim community. With the party's strong base among the Jat and Muslim communities, the move has created a rift that could weaken its influence in western Uttar Pradesh. As elections approach, both JD(U) and RLD face significant challenges. The internal dissent threatens their unity and could potentially affect their electoral prospects. How these parties manage these rebellions will be crucial for their political futures.

00:00Let's move ahead and talk about Bihar, where this year, all the legislations are going to be elected.
00:05But the ruling Nitesh Kumar's party has created a ruckus in the JDU.
00:09The reason is that Nitesh Kumar has to face opposition many times regarding the Waqf Bill.
00:16So many people are supporting him.
00:18In Bihar, the 10 leaders of the ruling Nitesh Kumar's JDU,
00:22have resigned because they were upset with the party's support and the passing of the Waqf Sanshodhan Bill.
00:29Among those who have resigned, Raju Nayyar, Tabrez Siddiqui,
00:33and Mohammad Shahnawaz Malik, Mohammad Qasim Ansari are included.
00:37These are the names who have resigned because they are upset with the party.
00:40In the beginning, the party had refused to recognize one or two leaders.
00:44But the matter didn't stop there.
00:46The leaders who have resigned are calling this bill a Muslim opposition.
00:50Some leaders are expressing their anger regarding the Waqf Sanshodhan Bill.
00:56And this ruckus in the JDU is about resigning.
01:00Suddenly, many people have resigned.
01:02Among them, we have told you about many important names.
01:05In the beginning, the party had refused to recognize one or two leaders.
01:12But the matter didn't stop there.
01:14The leaders who have resigned are calling this bill a Muslim opposition.
01:21Today is the press conference of Alp Sankhyak Prakost.
01:25It is 1 o'clock.
01:26Can we make a big announcement in this press conference?
01:29What will be discussed?
01:31Everyone is watching.
01:32Because there are elections in Bihar.
01:34It is an election state.
01:35Can the difficulties of the JDU or Nitish Kumar increase?
01:39We will see.
01:41For now, the Waqf Sanshodhan Bill has been passed by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
01:47It will take a few days for the bill to be passed.
01:50When the President's approval is received, it will become a law.
01:53But before that, the JDU has to face opposition.
01:57If we talk about Bihar.
01:59Which leaders have resigned?
02:01Feroz Khan, District Secretary.
02:03M Raju Nayyar, Purva Pradesh Secretary.
02:06He has left the JDU.
02:08Shahnawaz Malik, Alp Sankhyak Prakost's District Secretary.
02:11Nadeem Akhtar, Betia's District Chief.
02:14He has also left the JDU.
02:18These are the big names who have left the party.
02:21Tabrez Siddiqui, Pradesh Secretary.
02:23Chikitsa Prakost from Purvi Champaran.
02:29These are the big names of Afridi Rehman, Alp Sankhyak Prakost.
02:32They have also left the party.
02:34Many other leaders have shown their unique ways of opposing.
02:39The name plate has been broken here.
02:41If the charismatic Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, is with this bill.
02:52Then this is a guarantee of transparency and impartiality.
02:55This is a ray of hope for poor Muslims and backward Muslims.
03:00And undoubtedly, the party is going among the people to get rid of these delusions.
03:07Lalu Yadav, Tejasvi Yadav's father, Lalu Prasad.
03:20Whatever he said in the 2010 Parliament.
03:24About the loot, about the property of the bungalow.
03:27And the aim he set on the work board.
03:31Doesn't his party believe in Lalu Yadav?
03:34Doesn't Lalu Yadav believe in Lalu Prasad?
03:37Doesn't Lalu Yadav believe in Lalu Prasad?
03:42So we believe that the shortcomings have been corrected.
03:46Muslims do not need to be afraid at all.
03:51Now see, the party's MLC Gulam Gauss, who is angry about the Waqf-e-Sanshrodhan Bill,
03:56without taking a name, has targeted his constituents and CM Nitish Kumar, who voted in support of the Waqf-e-Sanshrodhan Bill.
04:02He has also appealed to the central government to withdraw the bill.
04:07I am not satisfied with this bill.
04:10My killer is my justice.
04:12What will the decision give me?
04:15We expect loyalty from those who do not know what loyalty is.
04:19Since this government has come together,
04:22sometimes Babri Dadri, sometimes Lau Jaya, sometimes Ghar Wapsi, sometimes Teen Tila,
04:26sometimes NRC, sometimes CA, sometimes 370, sometimes Mob Lynching, and now Waqf.
04:34We have to show up for improvement.
04:37There are no other people for improvement.
04:39Why have you supported the party's MPs?
04:41Let it happen. We have our own freedom.
04:44If a knife goes through my neck, if I don't speak, who else will?
04:49What do you want now? The law is about to be made.
04:52No, I want that even now, there is time.
04:55For example, the Prime Minister.
04:57God gave him wisdom.
04:59Allah gave him wisdom.
05:01He withdrew the Farmer's Bill.
05:04But 700 people lost their lives.
05:07All of them were Hindus and Muslims.
05:09For God's sake, let's not bring this country back into the hands of the movement.
05:15And let's save the Muslim community from going to the streets.
05:21Let's withdraw this bill.
05:23There is still time.
05:26We are getting to see the sound of this revolt in JDO.
05:29Let's take a fresh update.
05:31Shashank Kumar from Patna is with us.
05:33Balram Pandey from Lucknow is also with us.
05:35Shashank, let's stop for a moment.
05:37This is a difficult time for JDO.
05:40There are elections in Bihar.
05:41But before that, the party is in a big problem.
05:43Because many people have resigned.
05:45In this situation, it is time for a challenge in front of Nitish Kumar.
05:49Nitish's secular image is being questioned.
05:55There are two things.
05:57In JDO, many Muslim leaders have resigned.
06:01Because the party has supported the party.
06:04They are not that big.
06:06But they are the leaders who strengthen the party's organization in the districts.
06:09They tell the public what the government is doing for them.
06:12They appeal to voters to vote for the party.
06:16They raise the flag of the party in the districts.
06:18These people's resignation cannot be called a shock for the party.
06:22It is definitely a shock for the party.
06:23And this is the election year.
06:24In JDO, there is a group of big leaders who are protesting.
06:28But they are not in the mood to leave the party.
06:31It is the election year.
06:32RJD is constantly surrounding Nitish.
06:35They are saying that you are a minority opponent.
06:38The public will teach you a lesson in the elections.
06:40Meanwhile, an important press conference has been called at JDO office for damage control.
06:45This press conference has been organized by Al Sankhyak Prakost.
06:48The leaders who are protesting, like Ghulam Ghosh,
06:52the chairman of the Chief of Board,
06:54and the senior leader of JDO, Afzal Abbas,
06:56Ashfaq Karim from RJD has come to JDO.
06:59He is a big leader.
07:00He also protested against this policy.
07:02He will also be in this PC.
07:03There will also be some big Al Sankhyak faces who have remained silent so far.
07:06So those who are protesting,
07:08we can try to get a message from them that we are standing strong with the party.
07:12We can also get a message from them that we are standing with the party.
07:19We can try.
07:20But it is a big question whether these leaders will speak up.
07:23But the way the party has supported Vidya in the parliament,
07:26there is a stir in JADU in the election year.
07:29Okay, Shashank.
07:30Stay with us.
07:31Let's take the viewers to Lucknow.
07:32Balram Pandey is with us.
07:34We will ask him as well.
07:35But before that, we are getting more information.
07:38After supporting Waqf-e-Bill,
07:40Jayant Chaudhary's party RLD has also started a wave of resignations.
07:44And in spite of supporting Jayant Chaudhary's Waqf-e-Bill,
07:49the district chief of Hapur, Mohammad Zaki has resigned from the party.
07:54Zaki has accused the party leadership of ignoring the issues of the Muslim community.
08:03Mohammad Zaki has resigned from the party.
08:05We will tell you what he has said in this resignation.
08:09Now, in RLD as well, a wave of resignations has started.
08:12And Jayant Chaudhary has supported the Waqf-e-Bill.
08:16In this, some people of his party have become angry.
08:18Mohammad Zaki, the district chief of Hapur, has resigned from the party.
08:22And this line has been directly mentioned that
08:25the support given to the Waqf-e-Bill,
08:28the anger among the people is the result of that.
08:33Zaki has accused the party leadership of ignoring the issues of the Muslim community.
08:38And has left the party.
08:40So, the leaders of RLD who are going to resign,
08:44are now leaving the party in a state of anger.
08:47In RLD as well, we are witnessing a wave of rebellion.
08:54In this country, the government has brought the anti-Muslim law.
09:00The support of which has been given by the National People's Party.
09:04Because of which, me and my society have felt more betrayed.
09:08I did not want to resign from this party.
09:12But I am feeling betrayed from within.
09:19That is why I am resigning.
09:21I will continue to fight the struggle of the workers, the farmers and my society.
09:26Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.
09:31And Balram Pandey is with us with more information on this big news.
09:35Balram, every party is facing these situations right now.
09:40When Waqf-e-Sanshrodhan Vidyag passed from both the houses,
09:44there was a ruckus within the parties.
09:47Whether it is RLD or JD,
09:49if we talk about RLD, when Jayant Chaudhary supported,
09:52his leaders got upset.
09:53See, the way to strengthen RLD,
10:01whether it is Jad Samaj or Muslim Samaj,
10:05a very strong force is seen in West Uttar Pradesh.
10:09But the way the support of Waqf-e-Sanshrodhan Vidyag,
10:12was given by RLD's National Chief Minister, Jayant Chaudhary,
10:18after that, the leaders of the party are facing a ruckus.
10:23And the way Mohammad Jaki resigned and said
10:26that he did not expect that the party would take such a step,
10:30now the party is facing a ruckus.
10:35But now it will be interesting to see how the party stops this dent.
10:40Because if we talk about West Uttar Pradesh,
10:43RLD is very strong.
10:45And because of its strength,
10:48a small number of people vote for RLD.
10:54And Jad Samaj votes for RLD.
10:57And because of their coordination,
10:59RLD is very strong in West Uttar Pradesh.
11:02But the way Waqf-e-Sanshrodhan Vidyag was brought,
11:05and its support was given by Jayant Chaudhary,
11:08now the party is facing a ruckus.
11:12Now the party is facing a ruckus.
11:14We will have to see how far this ruckus goes.
11:17But somewhere, RLD may have to bear the loss.
11:21Because the way the opposition has started in the party,
11:24how will it continue?
11:26And how long will this opposition continue?
11:28And how much loss will the party face from this?
11:30Only time will tell.
11:32Thank you both for your cooperation.
