Before the assembly elections to be held in Bihar next month, political rhetoric is increasing. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Chief Minister face of the opposition Grand Alliance, Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday hit back at the statement of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan, in which Paswan had alleged that in 2005, his father Ram Vilas Paswan wanted the Chief Minister of Bihar to be a Muslim, but RJD did not support it.
Tejashwi Yadav said, “Whatever Chirag Paswan says or doesn’t say has no importance. The real question is what is his vision?” He also said that Chirag is feeling uncomfortable in the current National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Referring to the dispute between Chirag’s family and NDA, Tejashwi said, “NDA people set Chirag’s family on fire. Chirag is with NDA out of greed for power and is compromising his ideals for this. Therefore, his statements are not considered important.”

RJD was not successful in forming the government with Congress and LJP, because LJP had placed the condition of giving support only if the Chief Minister became a Muslim. Since the government could not be formed, re-elections were held at the end of the year, in which the NDA won the majority and formed the government.
My leader in 2005 was my father late. Ram Vilas Paswan ji had even sacrificed his party to make him a Muslim Chief Minister – even then you did not support him.
RJD was not ready to give a Muslim Chief Minister even in 2005, today even in 2025 neither is it ready to give a Muslim Chief Minister, nor…
