Congress argued that Rahul Gandhi had flagged this issue eight years ago, and the Centre acted only now. However, controversy broke out when Kerala Congress compared Bihar with bidi in its criticism. This remark has drawn serious backlash.

JD(U) president Sanjay Jha slammed the post as “shameful.” He said Bihar is not just linked with bidi but with a proud heritage, knowledge, and sacrifice. He stressed that mocking Bihar is an insult to its people and Indian democracy. Jha reminded that Bihar is the land of Buddha, Mahavira, and many freedom fighters.

With Bihar elections approaching, experts warn that such remarks may harm Congress politically. Since bidi consumption is common in the state, the comparison has triggered emotional reactions.
