Amid the unfolding political turmoil in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, the Deputy Chief Minister, breaks his silence on the political crisis, asserting the achievements of his government and responding to Nitish Kumar’s actions.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) expressed gratitude to Tejashwi Yadav through a full-page advertisement in leading Hindi newspapers, acknowledging his contributions as the Deputy Chief Minister. The party particularly commended him for spearheading initiatives to create employment opportunities and bolster the tourism sector in Bihar.
Tejashwi Yadav, in response to the political developments, highlighted the achievements of his government, emphasizing his vision to generate job opportunities and enhance key sectors like education, health, and tourism. He compared the accomplishments of his tenure to the collective efforts made in the preceding seventeen years.
Tejashwi Yadav did not mince words in criticizing Nitish Kumar, referring to him as a “tired Chief Minister.” He expressed confidence that the Janata Dal (United) would face significant setbacks in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and asserted that people are aware of the positive changes during their tenure in the Bihar government.
Sources suggest that Nitish Kumar’s remarks against dynastic politics, interpreted as a veiled attack on RJD Chief Lalu Yadav and the Congress, contributed to the growing discord within the grand alliance. Additionally, tensions escalated after Mamata Banerjee proposed Mallikarjun Kharge as the prime ministerial candidate for the INDIA bloc, causing discomfort within the alliance.
Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav are reportedly strategizing to fortify the grand alliance in Bihar and the INDIA bloc. Plans are underway for a meeting with party MLAs and senior leaders to discuss strategies and navigate the political challenges ahead. The RJD and Congress are also gearing up for Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, intending to make it a success in Bihar.
Tejashwi Yadav’s response provides a glimpse into the internal dynamics of the grand alliance in Bihar, reflecting the political tensions and the parties’ efforts to regroup and strengthen their position in the face of recent developments.
