Bihar Opposition Faces Security and Leadership Challenges
In Bihar, India, the opposition parties are upset because the government has reduced the security of their leaders.
Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition, had his security lowered, and two Congress leaders had their security completely taken away.

Meanwhile, leaders from the ruling parties, like the BJP and JD(U), have had their security increased.
