Lalu Calls for March to Lok Bhavan on Aug 19 Against State Govt's 'Dictatorial Attitude'

RJD leaders said the march will press for action over alleged police firing on students and submit a memorandum to the Governor.

  • On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Grand Alliance allies are marching to the Lok Bhavan in Patna, with party supremo Lalu Prasad calling it a protest against the government's "dictatorial attitude."
  • The protest follows widespread demonstrations on July 25, 2026, regarding NEET-UG paper leaks, during which a police constable in Siwan allegedly fired an AK-47 rifle at students protesting for their rights.
  • Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav expressed apprehension about "excessive use of force" by the administration, claiming police have "rounded up" student leaders to prevent them from joining the march.
  • RJD leaders intend to submit a memorandum to the Governor, demanding accountability for the firing incident and systemic reforms to address the state's examination and recruitment processes.
  • State BJP chief Sanjay Saraogi dismissed the march as an attempt to "save the political career" of Yadav, alleging the RJD rank and file has lost trust in his leadership.
