Bihar’s opposition alliance party India Alliance has announced its chief ministerial candidate. Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot has projected Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav as the CM face. He has said that the Grand Alliance is contesting the elections under the leadership of Tejashwi and if the government of India is formed, Tejashwi will be the Chief Minister.
Along with this, Ashok Gehlot also told the reasons for electing Tejashwi Yadav as the CM face. In the joint press conference of the Grand Alliance held on Thursday, October 23, Ashok Gehlot said that Tejashwi Yadav is a youth leader and connects with the youth of Bihar. He knows the problems of the youth and always works forward to find their solutions. Ashok Gehlot also said that Tejashwi Yadav is the future of Bihar.
‘Tejashwi did wonders in Bihar elections 2020’- Ashok Gehlot
Apart from this, Congress’ Bihar election in-charge Ashok Gehlot praised Tejashwi Yadav and said that Tejashwi had done wonders in the year 2020. He was very close to victory. NDA government came to power only due to minor vote difference and money power, otherwise Tejashwi Yadav would have won. Therefore, India Alliance unanimously projects Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Minister face of the Grand Alliance.
‘We have chosen, who is the CM face of NDA?’- Ashok Gehlot
Along with the announcement of his CM face, Ashok Gehlot also asked the ruling coalition party NDA as to who is their CM candidate? In fact, despite repeated demands from current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, BJP has not yet declared him as the CM face. It has only been said that NDA will contest Bihar elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. In such a situation, it is not yet confirmed whether Nitish Kumar will become the CM of Bihar again if the NDA government is repeated.

In the same press conference, Grand Alliance’s CM candidate Tejashwi Yadav even claimed that BJP will not allow Nitish Kumar to become the Chief Minister this time. Tejashwi Yadav said that injustice is being done to Nitish Kumar in NDA. There was neither any joint PC nor was Nitish formally declared the chief ministerial face.
In such a situation, Tejashwi Yadav also claimed that due to Nitish Kumar being unwell, he will not be able to become CM next time. Neither NDA government will come nor BJP will make him the CM.
