Patna, April 10 (NationPress) The Opposition Leader in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, has launched a fierce critique of Nitish Kumar following his swearing-in as a Rajya Sabha member, labeling the event as nothing out of the ordinary and merely a procedural step.

Making a pointed remark about the political fanfare surrounding the occasion, Tejashwi questioned whether Nitish Kumar had been sworn in as Prime Minister, expressing skepticism regarding the excitement surrounding the announcement.

He asserted that the Chief Minister's shift to the Rajya Sabha was not his own choice but rather a response to overwhelming political pressures.

Tejashwi expressed a blend of scorn and sympathy, stating that Nitish Kumar is currently facing considerable challenges.

“I had previously indicated that he would not be permitted to operate without interference,” he remarked, adding that there was no personal inclination on Nitish Kumar's part to transition to the Rajya Sabha.

He also criticized the timing of this decision, suggesting that such a move only months after assuming the Chief Minister's role raises significant questions about the motivations behind it.

Highlighting what he described as the public degradation of the Chief Minister, Tejashwi claimed that Nitish Kumar's position has been compromised.

Referring to recent occurrences and alleged video evidence, he noted that interruptions—like adjournments or disruptions during his speeches—demonstrate the level of disrespect he is receiving.

Tejashwi also directed broader criticism at the state government, asserting that Bihar is deteriorating at an alarming rate.

He pointed out rising crime rates while noting that sectors like education and healthcare are on a downward trend.

According to him, the government is solely focused on retaining power, showing little regard for effective governance.

Addressing the issue of unemployment, Tejashwi accused the administration of intentionally stalling teacher hiring, thus impacting thousands of hopeful candidates.

He reiterated claims made on his social media platforms, alleging that assurances of jobs are merely being used as a stalling tactic.

In closing, Tejashwi emphasized that Bihar's governance appears to be increasingly influenced from New Delhi instead of Patna.

He suggested that the next Chief Minister would not genuinely represent the people's wishes but would be imposed from above.

In a lighter moment, he noted that after he raised the issue of his delayed salary with the press, it was promptly disbursed—this observation adds another dimension to the ongoing political discourse in Bihar.

Tejashwi Yadav’s comments have sparked a renewed political discussion in Bihar, further escalating the already tense environment surrounding the state's changing leadership landscape.
