Patna, Nov 4 (NationPress) The national chief of Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD) and Mahua Assembly contestant Tej Pratap Yadav took a pointed jab at his younger sibling and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, referring to him as "a child" immediately after the former Deputy Chief Minister concluded his campaign in Mahua on Tuesday.
While addressing the press, Tej Pratap stated, "He is still a child. Post-elections, we’ll present him with a jhunjhuna (rattle)."
He further remarked, "If he visits our region, we will reciprocate and visit his. After that, we’ll head to Raghopur."
This comment arises amidst rising political tensions in Mahua, where both sons of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav seem to be in a direct confrontation.
Tej Pratap, who secured victory in Mahua in 2015 as an RJD candidate, is running once more under his own party banner after being ousted from the party earlier this year. His departure from the RJD followed a public dispute with his family over personal matters, prompting him to establish the JJD.
Current MLA Mukesh Raushan, the Mahagathbandhan candidate from RJD in Mahua, is also contesting again, facing a high-stakes challenge from his former party comrade and Lalu's elder son, Tej Pratap.
The final phase of campaigning for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 commences on Monday, with leaders from prominent political parties slated to campaign for two additional days before the elections commence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge are addressing numerous rallies throughout the state.
The Prime Minister conducted public meetings in Saharsa and Katihar districts, while Kharge criticized the NDA government during a rally in Vaishali. Home Minister Shah also made significant announcements, including development initiatives for Mithilanchal, while speaking at rallies in Sheohar, Sitamarhi, and Madhubani.
Previously, the Prime Minister executed a grand roadshow in Patna last week, followed by consecutive rallies in Bhojpur and Nawada districts.
The Bihar Assembly elections are set to occur in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with vote counting scheduled for November 14.
