In a bold broadside against the ruling NDA, Bihar opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is under intense pressure to vacate his post. Speaking in the state assembly, Yadav predicted the next CM would be handpicked by Delhi, sidelining the electorate’s voice entirely. ‘Bihar’s administration will operate from the Centre’s directives, not the people’s choice,’ he proclaimed.
The remarks follow Nitish Kumar’s recent swearing-in as a Rajya Sabha MP, igniting rumors of a leadership transition. Yadav revisited his campaign rhetoric, vowing to oust the NDA. He demanded answers: why flip the government against a clear mandate? ‘This isn’t Nitish ji’s wish; it’s forced upon him,’ he insisted.
Yadav laid bare Bihar’s crises—deteriorating security, subpar schools and hospitals, burdened farmers, rampant price hikes, entrenched poverty, and forced displacements. ‘Evicted workers flood back jobless amid gas crises, but no helping hand or assembly discussion from the government,’ he criticized sharply.
Targeting the BJP, Yadav accused them of chair-focused maneuvers that defame and devastate Bihar. Questioning the CM selection process, he asked: ‘No mandate, yet a new government? Is this democracy?’ He recounted Nitish’s recent assembly debacle, silenced by Sanjay Jha. ‘Hands yanked, clothes pulled, speeches interrupted, shoulders gripped—the CM’s dignity is in tatters.’
As alliances strain and power plays intensify, Yadav’s outburst underscores a battle for Bihar’s soul, with national politics poised to dictate local fates.
