Soon after being declared the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a fiery attack on the NDA government and unveiled a slew of promises aimed at what he called the “creation of a new Bihar”.

“I thank everyone for having faith in me. We will create a new Bihar — a Bihar where people don’t have to migrate for jobs, where industries thrive and where justice prevails,” Tejashwi said, addressing a massive gathering in Patna.

Yadav promised to reduce LPG cylinder prices to Rs 500, provide Rs 30,000 to women under the Jeevika Yojana, and waive interest on their loans if voted to power.

The RJD leader also launched a direct attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the BJP, questioning why the ruling alliance had not yet announced its CM face.

“Why has the NDA not declared its chief ministerial face? Is it because Amit Shah has already decided that this is Nitish Kumar’s last election?” he said.
