Before the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, there was a lot of tussle regarding the post of Chief Minister in the Grand Alliance. Finally the name of Tejashwi Yadav was approved. The Grand Alliance announced Tejashwi’s name during the press conference on Thursday (23 October), but during this time Rahul Gandhi’s picture was seen missing from the press conference. Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad raised questions regarding this. He took a jibe at the Grand Alliance and asked which alliance is this.
Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “Rahul Gandhi’s picture was not in the press conference. Which alliance is this, which has 243 seats and is contesting elections on 255? Nitish Kumar separated from you only after seeing your corruption. Today Tejashwi said that he will adopt zero tolerance on corruption, so tell me on whose corruption – mother’s, father’s or his own people. Your father Lalu ji has been sentenced to 32 years in fodder scam.
Ravi Shankar Prasad made serious allegations against Tejashwi
He said, “Along with the fodder scam, Lalu has four different scam cases registered against him. The court has sentenced Lalu Prasad Yadav to 32.5 years. Tejashwi Yadav is accused of section 420 of IPC. They are saying that we will provide jobs, they have a time-tested model. They will give you jobs and take your land. None of his work is done without corruption. Neither in Himachal Pradesh nor in Telangana, they are not able to fulfill their announcements.
From where will the employees be paid – Ravi Shankar Prasad
Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “There are 2 crore 60 lakh families in Bihar. Tejashwi has announced that we will give a government job to every household. Where will the money come from to pay salaries to the employees? NDA’s vision is to expose RJD and the alliance. Whatever announcements Tejashwi Yadav has made are just fanfare and nothing else.
