She had accused the ruling BJP and JD(U) claiming that the life of the former Deputy Chief Minister was under severe threat and his security cover should be reviewed or enhanced. Last month, Tej Pratap Yadav, the MLA and former minister who has been expelled from the RJD for six years had said that his life was in danger and demanded more security from the State government. However, his name does not figure in the list. The security cover of Pappu Yadav, Mr. Singh and Mr. Gyanu have been upgraded to 'Y+', whereas Mr. Kumar is now entitled to 'Y' category security. A few months back, Pappu Yadav claimed that he had received a death threat call in the name of the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Later, police arrested that person and clarified that no connection was made to the notorious gangster. A senior officer in the special branch said that the decision has been taken, keeping the upcoming assembly election in mind, as these leaders would be taking part in several public meetings during the campaign.
