Bihar Politics: Dilip Jaiswal Misspells ‘Bihar’ – RJD Mocks, BJP State President Hits Back

The political landscape of Bihar has been set ablaze with yet another controversy, this time surrounding BJP’s newly appointed state president, Dilip Jaiswal. The latest political spat erupted after Jaiswal submitted his resignation letter from his ministerial position, which the opposition party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) seized upon due to alleged spelling mistakes, including the misspelling of ‘Bihar.’ This minor yet sensationalized mistake has given the opposition a golden opportunity to launch an attack, ridiculing Jaiswal’s credentials. However, the BJP leader did not take the jibe lightly and hit back with a sharp counterattack.

The Controversy Unfolds: A Typo Sparks a Political Storm

The issue came to light when RJD shared an image of Dilip Jaiswal’s resignation letter on social media, highlighting the grammatical and spelling errors, including the apparent misspelling of ‘Bihar.’ This instantly became a hot topic among political circles and social media users. Seizing the opportunity, RJD took a dig at Jaiswal, calling him a "fourth-pass doctorate." The opposition mocked that a person who cannot even correctly spell the name of his own state was not only a minister in the Bihar government but also the owner of a medical college.

RJD’s official X (formerly Twitter) account sarcastically remarked, “This is the BJP’s fourth-pass doctorate. This man was not only a state minister but is also the state president of the party in Bihar. He owns a medical college and yet has no competition when it comes to boasting. He wrote his resignation letter while reading ‘Entire Political Science!’”

This taunt was a reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s infamous ‘Entire Political Science’ degree controversy, making it an even sharper political attack.

Dilip Jaiswal’s Fierce Response to RJD

Not one to stay silent, Dilip Jaiswal retaliated with a strong response on social media. He dismissed the spelling errors as trivial, emphasizing that a spelling mistake can be corrected, but RJD’s tarnished legacy of ‘Jungle Raj’ cannot be erased from history.

In his counterattack, Jaiswal wrote on X: “Those who are pointing out my spelling mistakes today should remember that spelling errors can be erased. However, the dark stains of RJD’s Jungle Raj can never be washed away. If they are so interested in pointing out mistakes, let them first present their degrees. The people of Bihar know that the biggest blunder in history was RJD’s rule itself.”

His response instantly gained traction among BJP supporters, who rallied behind him with trending hashtags like #JungleRaj, #RJDExposed, and #BJPStrongInBihar.

The Political Motive Behind the Attack

Political analysts believe that RJD’s attack on Jaiswal’s resignation letter was not just a random jibe but a well-planned strategy to undermine the BJP’s leadership in Bihar. Ever since Dilip Jaiswal was appointed as the BJP state president, the party has been strategically strengthening its position in the state, especially with the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections approaching.

The controversy also comes at a time when BJP is aggressively pushing its narrative of good governance against RJD’s 15-year-long rule, often dubbed as ‘Jungle Raj’ due to allegations of lawlessness, crime, and corruption. By highlighting Jaiswal’s spelling mistakes, RJD attempted to shift the narrative and question the educational and intellectual capabilities of the BJP leadership.

Why Did Dilip Jaiswal Resign?

Amidst all the chaos regarding the spelling mistake, the actual reason for Jaiswal’s resignation has also been a point of discussion. According to sources, Jaiswal’s resignation was inevitable due to BJP’s ‘One Person, One Post’ policy.

Dilip Jaiswal was holding the position of a minister in the Bihar government.
After being appointed as Bihar BJP’s state president, it became necessary for him to step down from his ministerial role.
Despite being aware of this rule, he continued in the position for seven months before finally resigning.

Reportedly, BJP’s National President JP Nadda personally advised Jaiswal that it was time to step down from his ministerial post. Heeding the directive from the top leadership, Jaiswal submitted his resignation letter, which unfortunately became a target for the opposition’s mockery.

Public Reaction: A Battle of Social Media Trends

The resignation letter controversy has sparked a massive debate on social media platforms. While RJD supporters have been using hashtags like #BJPFail and #DilipJaiswalExposed, BJP loyalists have countered with #JungleRaj and #RJDCorruption.

Some of the most viral social media reactions include:

“A person who cannot even spell Bihar was handling the state’s administration? No wonder BJP’s governance is a disaster!” – RJD Supporter

“RJD talking about mistakes? The entire rule of Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav was a mistake! At least BJP has educated leaders.” – BJP Supporter

“What’s worse? A spelling mistake or 15 years of Jungle Raj?” – Neutral Observer

This digital battle has only intensified the political rivalry between the two parties as they gear up for the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections.

BJP’s Strategy Moving Forward

Despite the mockery, BJP is looking at the bigger picture. The party aims to consolidate its position in Bihar by focusing on issues like development, governance, and corruption-free administration.

With Dilip Jaiswal as the state president, BJP plans to:

Expand its grassroots network and strengthen its vote bank.
Counter RJD’s narrative by reminding people of the lawlessness under their rule.
Highlight the achievements of Modi’s government in Bihar.
Target the youth and first-time voters who were not directly affected by the ‘Jungle Raj’ era but need to be reminded of it.

Final Thoughts: A Battle of Perception in Bihar Politics

The Bihar political scene is heating up as the state moves closer to its next major election. While RJD has managed to turn a minor spelling mistake into a viral political attack, BJP is using the same controversy to remind the people of Bihar about the failures of previous RJD governments.

Ultimately, this controversy reflects the larger battle for political perception between BJP and RJD. While spelling mistakes can be corrected, can RJD correct its past mistakes in governance? That’s a question voters will have to answer in the 2025 elections.

As the political drama unfolds, one thing is certain – Bihar’s political battles are as intense as ever, and the fight for dominance continues!
