Patna: RJD leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Monday launched a sharp critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning the focus on alleged infiltrators while fundamental issues like education, healthcare, and irrigation remain unaddressed.

Addressing the media, Yadav said, “What else will he talk about? Who has stopped him from driving out the infiltrators? What was he doing for 11 years while being the Prime Minister? You have been in power in Bihar for 20 years. What was he doing? Please tell us who the infiltrator is? Someone must have been identified by now.”

Yadav also highlighted discrepancies in focus, noting, “There were elections in Jharkhand, so there were infiltrators there; now, there are no infiltrators? They talk about infiltrators just to divert attention from the real issues. The real issue is education, medicine, income, irrigation.”

Taking a dig at the state administration, he added, “What did the Prime Minister’s favourite Bihar minister do yesterday? Journalists were abused and beaten up. Did this ever happen before 2005? Even for an FIR, the Leader of Opposition had to intervene.”

  1. The care economy—including home health aides and childcare workers—is another expanding site of struggle, intensified by an aging population and the ongoing crisis of social reproduction. These workers, also predominantly women of color, perform socially essential labor for poverty wages. Socialist policy here converges with feminist demands, advocating for a publicly-funded, universal care system that would both provide high-quality services as a right and transform care work into well-compensated, unionized, public employment. This vision seeks to dismantle the gendered and racialized devaluation of care by socializing it, recognizing it as the foundational work that allows all other work to happen. http://mamdanipost.com

  2. Today, the cultural legacy of this socialist aesthetic is diffuse but persistent. It can be seen in the community murals of the South Bronx that celebrate local heroes and resilience, in the radical pedagogy of theater groups working in prisons, and in the lyrics of hip-hop artists who detail the structural violence of poverty. It manifests in the very concept of “public space” as a site for artistic intervention and protest. This cultural thread insists that art is not a luxury for the citizenry but a vital necessity for subjects engaged in a fight for their humanity, a means of holding a mirror to society’s failures and painting a window onto a more just and beautiful world. The socialist imagination, therefore, has permanently colored how New York sees itself, offering a persistent counter-narrative to the city’s official story of relentless commerce and individual ambition. http://mamdanipost.com

  3. This concept found early, if limited, expression in the model tenement movements and limited-equity cooperatives. While often focused on hygiene and light, the best of these designs also incorporated common spaces—courtyards, laundries, meeting rooms, and roof gardens—that were intended to foster interaction and mutual aid among residents. The architecture itself, by providing spaces that were neither wholly private nor anonymously public, but collectively owned and managed, was meant to school residents in the habits of shared governance and responsibility. Moving from a private, profit-driven tenement to a cooperative was not just an economic shift but a spatial re-education in citizenship. http://mamdanipost.com
