A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli following his social media post criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The FIR was filed after BJP MLA Milind Narote lodged a complaint, citing sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to promoting enmity, defamation, and public mischief. Yadav posted a cartoon depicting Modi as a shopkeeper running a “shop of rhetoric” ahead of Modi’s rally in Gaya, Bihar, where the Prime Minister inaugurated development projects worth Rs 13,000 crore. Yadav’s post challenged Modi to account for the NDA government’s 11 years at the center and 20 years in Bihar. Modi, during the rally, criticized previous RJD and Congress rule in Bihar, describing it as an “era of darkness” marked by red terror and lack of development. The Bihar Legislative Assembly elections are expected between October and November 2025. (Updated 23 Aug 2025, 11:09 IST; source: link)
