New Delhi, Sep 13 (NationPress) As the political climate in Bihar intensifies with the anticipated Assembly elections approaching in October-November, RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav sharply criticized the BJP, alleging a mere “poll-time interest” in the state. He emphasized that transformation is unavoidable as the populace is “exhausted by unemployment, corruption, and numerous other issues” affecting Bihar.
In a conversation with IANS, Tejashwi remarked: “Now that elections are near, Bihar will suddenly matter to them. BJP remembers Bihar only during elections. Once the elections conclude, they will forget the residents of this state again.”
He further claimed that “change is inevitable” in the forthcoming elections, attributing the expected political transition to widespread unemployment, corruption, and public discontent.
“This time, change is certain. People are tired of unemployment, corruption, and many other issues,” he asserted.
The remarks come just ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s significant visit to Bihar on September 15, during which he is set to address a grand public rally in Purnea district and inaugurate development projects valued at over Rs 45,000 crore.
Meanwhile, Tejashwi announced the revival of his ‘Bihar Adhikar Yatra’ beginning September 16, aiming to visit districts that were previously overlooked during the initial phase of the campaign.
“From the 16th, we are restarting our yatra. We had already covered 20 districts, and now we will reach the remaining ones. We will ensure that our message reaches every corner where we couldn’t go before,” he noted.
Commenting on the recent political changes in neighboring Nepal, where former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has assumed the role of interim Prime Minister following extensive anti-government protests and the fall of the KP Sharma Oli government, Tejashwi extended his good wishes.
“We have just received news that former Chief Justice Sushila ji has been sworn in as acting Prime Minister of Nepal. I hope she will fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people of Nepal,” he expressed.
