“लालू प्रसाद यादव और राबड़ी देवी के सरकारी घर और सुरक्षा के मुद्दे पर तेजस्वी यादव और सम्राट चौधरी के बीच जमकर जुबानी जंग हुई।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent news reports from June 2026, in the weeks before the July 2 broadcast, document a sustained public verbal clash between Tejashwi Yadav and Bihar CM Samrat Chaudhary over the government's order for Rabri Devi to vacate her official bungalow and the downgrade of security cover for Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. Tejashwi called Chaudhary a 'cheap minister' and a 'selected, not elected' CM, while Chaudhary defended the moves as routine application of rules on government accommodation. The anchor's characterization of a fierce war of words on this issue matches the record.
