Janshakti Janta Dal (JJD) chief Tej Pratap Yadav renewed his appeal to the central and Bihar governments for enhanced security, citing a surge in popularity following his recent appearance on a reality show and large crowds gathering around him in public places.
In a post on X, Yadav said large gatherings of fans often surround him for photographs, posing a threat to both his safety and that of the lone security personnel assigned to him.
He warned that the security guard could also be overwhelmed by crowds or face the risk of having his government-issued weapon snatched. “Who will take responsibility if an untoward incident involving me or my security personnel occurs? Is the government waiting for something unfortunate to happen?” he asked, urging authorities to provide adequate security without further delay.
“It is a matter of grave concern that the state government has currently provided me with only one security personnel,” the elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad said. “I once again urge the central and Bihar governments to take immediate cognisance of the matter, considering my growing popularity, the large crowds at public events and the serious security concerns involved,” the JJD leader said.
