RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav expressed criticism towards Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during the 'Karpuri Ati Pichhda Adhikar Samvad' on Saturday, claiming that Kumar is unfit to govern, citing his age and suggesting a lack of capability in promoting rapid development within the state.
Addressing the gathering, Yadav accused the NDA of exploiting the extremely backward society as a mere vote bank and vowed that under an RJD government, they would become a "power bank." Tejashwi Yadav said, "Nitish Kumar is no longer fit to run Bihar. He has grown old. Bihar needs to develop at a fast pace... We have to build a new Bihar. The people of NDA have only cheated an extremely backward society. They have only treated it as a vote bank... When our government is formed, the extremely backward will not remain just a vote bank but will become a power bank.'" Earlier on Thursday, the former Bihar Deputy CM promised to launch the "Mai Bahin Maan Yojana" across Bihar if his party comes to power, declaring that "change is bound to happen" in the poll-bound state. While interacting with reporters, Tejashwi said, "The Maa Yojana will be started, and the Beti Yojana will be started. The Mai Bahin Maan Yojana will be started. A large number of women from every block and panchayat in Bihar have gathered, indicating a strong desire for change. This time, everyone wants change, and change will happen." The Mai Bahin Maan Yojana is an electoral promise by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress in Bihar, India. The scheme promises a monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500 to women in financially vulnerable and backward communities if the coalition forms the government in the upcoming 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Earlier, Yadav had attacked the ruling NDA government, branding it a "Nakalchi' (copycat) government lacking vision. Speaking at the launch of the "Ati Pichda Nyay Sankalp" programme in Patna, he warned that the current government may adopt policies originally announced by his party. (ANI)
