RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the BJP and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Yadav demanded that Home Minister Amit Shah issue a written affidavit guaranteeing that Nitish Kumar will serve a full five-year term as Chief Minister if the NDA returns to power. "BJP leaders might say they will make Nitish the Chief Minister and contest the election under his leadership. But if they truly mean it, then please ask Amit Shah Ji to give it in writing as an affidavit that Nitish will remain Chief Minister for the full five years?" Yadav told ANI. He accused the BJP of using agencies like the ED and CBI to pressure opponents and weaken regional forces, likening the party to a "washing machine" that cleans up opposition through intimidation and fear. Tejashwi Yadav told ANI, "These days, everyone is switching parties. Ever since the BJP came to power, it has become like a washing machine, by using agencies like the ED and CBI, or by using fear and intimidation." Yadav alleged that the BJP systematically weakens regional allies, citing the split in Chirag Paswan's party and alleged attempts to undermine the JD (U). Launching a sharp attack on the BJP, Yadav accused the party of systematically weakening regional allies, citing the split in Chirag Paswan's party and alleged attempts to undermine JD(U). He claimed that the BJP has shifted from short-term to long-term plans to consolidate its power in Bihar. "Whatever party is BJP is engaged with, they try to break them, and they have weakened regional parties. Just look at what they did to Chirag Paswan's party in Bihar. The same thing was happening with JD (U) in Bihar. Earlier, the BJP had short-term plans, but now it seems they are thinking long-term," Yadav said. Bihar elections are expected to be held later this year, in October or November. (ANI)
