Controversies

[edit]

In November 2025, during the first phase of the Bihar Legislative Assembly elections, Vijay Kumar Sinha’s convoy faced an angry blockade in Khoriari village of Lakhisarai district. Villagers, angered over years of broken roads and poor drainage, confronted his team as he arrived for inspection.[6]

Videos from the scene, widely circulated online, showed protesters throwing slippers and cow dung at Sinha’s vehicle. In response, Sinha was seen shouting abuse at the crowd and making threats, including remarks that once his government returned to power, he would “run a bulldozer” over those defying him.[7] Another clip showed him rebuking his armed bodyguard, asking, “If you can’t fire, then what’s the point of being a bodyguard?” — a comment criticized for promoting violence. The episode drew heavy public criticism and was cited as an example of political arrogance and intimidation.[8]
