Reacting to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's statement that alliance doors are always open for CM Nitish Kumar, Union Minister and JDU leader Lallan Singh on Thursday affirmed that his party is with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
"...We are with the NDA and with full firmness. I cannot react to what people say--there is freedom of expression; people can say whatever they want, Singh told media persons. This came following Lalu Prasad Yadav's statement saying that the opposition alliance doors are always open for CM Nitish Kumar. However, reacting to Lalu's statements, his son Tejashwi Yadav said, "You keep asking him this; what else would he say? He said this just to calm you all down." Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary said that RJD supremo is making such statements out of 'fear.' "Nitish Kumar knows Lalu Prasad Yadav inside out... Lalu Prasad Yadav is just scared." Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan said, "If followers of Gandhi detach themselves from the followers of Godse, then we are with them..." Earlier on Tuesday, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav made a pledge for Bihar in 2025, promising to end unemployment and migration from the state. Speaking about his vision for the upcoming year, Yadav declared, "In the new year, we have resolved that this time we will end unemployment and migration from Bihar. We will form a new government in the new year." The RJD leader said that the new government if elected would focus on key areas including education, medicine, income, irrigation, and accountability. He also stressed the need for significant reforms in the state's administrative machinery. "We will form such a government where there will be education, medicine, income, irrigation, hearing and action... where bureaucracy will be abolished," Yadav stated. Yadav expressed confidence that with the support and blessings of the people, his vision would come to fruition ."If the blessings of all the people are with us, then we will succeed in our resolution," he affirmed. Yadav reiterated that the primary goal for the year was to push Bihar forward in terms of economic progress and social welfare. "In this new year, we have to take Bihar ahead," he stated. (ANI)
