During the first phase of voting in Bihar assembly elections, Jan Shakti Janata Dal national president and candidate from Mahua assembly constituency Tej Pratap Yadav cast his vote at a polling booth in Patna. After casting his vote, he said that the people of Bihar must use their vote because every vote is important.

Tej Pratap said, “The blessings of parents hold a special place, and the blessings of the public have their own importance.” He said that in democracy the public is supreme and its decision has the real power.

Tej Pratap Yadav further said, “No matter whose government it is, which will provide employment to the common man, stop migration, bring change in Bihar, we will be with it. The public is the master, it is the public that makes and spoils things.”

He said that his aim is not just to do politics, but to bring forward the voice of the people. Tej Pratap said that Bihar now needs a government which provides work to the youth, cares about the farmers and gives priority to education and health.

‘The public will decide whether he will become the Chief Minister or not’

Regarding the post of Chief Minister, Tej Pratap said smilingly, “Just like our father used to say that if we get a chance to become the Prime Minister then why would we leave, similarly if we get a chance to become the Chief Minister then why would we leave.”

He further said, “Whether it will be made or not, it will be decided on the 14th, but we are not so greedy that we have to sit on the chair. Our aim is to serve the public.”
