In a packed Bihar Legislative Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, RJD’s national executive president, turned the confidence vote debate into a blistering critique of the Nitish Kumar-BJP split. Speaking after CM Samrat Choudhary, Yadav highlighted the irony of Bihar’s frequent government changes.
‘Bihar is unique – five governments in five years. Why this instability?’ he asked, pointing to pre-election signs that BJP eyed Nitish’s chair. With biting sarcasm, he congratulated Choudhary: ‘You’ve achieved your vow – elected CM out, selected CM in.’
Yadav’s barbs extended to leadership origins. ‘Top three: Choudhary from RJD roots, Vijay Choudhary from Congress, Bijendra Yadav from JD(U). Where’s the true BJP face? Their loyalists feel betrayed.’ He mocked Choudhary’s age discrepancies across affidavits amid ruling party interruptions.
Shifting to cooperation, Yadav reminisced about fiscal health post-Lalu’s tenure versus current deficits. ‘Empty treasury hampers work. RJD stands ready to aid poverty alleviation, numbers or not. Move ahead; our support endures.’
This showdown reveals deep fissures in Bihar’s NDA, with Tejashwi positioning RJD as a constructive force. As the state navigates uncertainty, his words echo the quest for accountable governance.
