NEW DELHI: RJD leader and key rival to Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav, on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the ruling NDA in Bihar, alleging that Kumar’s face is being “misused” while the BJP holds control over the government.
Speaking to ANI, Tejashwi said, “I have even worked with the chief minister. I am concerned about seeing him in this condition… But people are misusing his face. BJP is controlling, they have hijacked. They are imposing their manifesto as per their wish.”
Targeting JD(U) leader Lalan Singh, he further added, “It is clear that Lalan Singh belongs to BJP, mentally as well as physically. He belongs to BJP by his heart and mind. CM’s face is only being used.”
Addressing a press conference on the same day, Tejashwi sharpened his attack on the BJP, claiming that the people of Bihar are prepared to vote out the government that has ruled for two decades.
“You all know that elections are going to be held in Bihar. Whether it will happen or not is in the hands of BJP when the BJP signals the Election Commission, then elections will be held. But this time, the people of Bihar have made full preparations to give a reply to the 20-year-old government, and this time the people have made up their mind and this time, change is going to happen. All the BJP leaders from across the country will visit Bihar. BJP has a tradition that these people visit the state where elections are held, although this is their own decision,” he said.
