It was announced by the Grand Alliance in a joint press conference on Thursday (October 23, 2025) that Tejashwi Yadav will be the face of the Chief Minister. During this, Congress leader Ashok Gehlot also asked a question to NDA asking them to tell who will be their leader. BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain has reacted to this.

Shahnawaz said, “What will be the face of NDA… Amit Shah ji has announced that he will fight, win and form the government under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. After this, what is the need for any more announcement? Once our big leaders have announced that we are fighting under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, on the basis of the work he has done in 20 years, which the central government has done, we will go to the field on the issue of development and will win.”

On the other hand, the BJP leader attacked the Congress and said, “Congress has kneeled down in front of Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav.

On the one hand, all the parties are busy preparing for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections and on the other side a poster war has also started. On Monday, an attempt has been made to give a message by putting up posters on behalf of RJD that Bihar will move forward only, happiness will happen only, all -round development will happen only when the Tejashwi government comes. The poster also mentions all the promises of Tejashwi about the election.

RJD has counted promises in the poster

It is written in the poster- Advanced life is a happy Bihar, when the stunning government will be formed, Mai Bahn Maan Yojana- 2500 rupees will be given to poor women every month, Social Security Pension Scheme- Rs 1500 per month, free electricity- 200 units will apply to domestic consumers per month, domic policy per month- priority in employment to local youth, employment will be provided to millions of youth. Industry businesses will be set up in Bihar.

Apart from this, the form fee of government jobs examinations will be waived, migration will be stopped. This has also been said in the poster. These posters have been put up by RJD leader Umesh Yadav. The great thing is that it does not talk about the Grand Alliance government nor is there mention of the promises of the Grand Alliance. RJD’s election promises have been mentioned and the Tejashwi government has been said. The poster has pictures of all the prominent leaders including Lalu Rabri Tejashwi. A poster is installed at the RJD office gate.

Distance seen in Congress and RJD

Let us know that after the solidarity seen in the voter rights yatra of the Grand Alliance, the distance is seen in the Congress and RJD. So far there has been no talks about seat sharing and CM face. However, Congress MP Akhilesh Singh has repeatedly said that Bihar’s CM Face Tejashwi Yadav is the only one. If there is no one, but this thing has not been said openly by other big leaders of Congress. The Congress has also made pressure for good seats on RJD regarding seats. Overall, RJD is busy in spreading its party’s public campaigning besides the Congress.
