Nitish-ji is a habitual turncoat, nobody will trust him any more; even the BJP knows it very well’: Tejashwi Yadav Premium
The Hindu
Tejashwi Yadav begins Jan Vishwas Yatra in Bihar, criticizes CM Nitish Kumar and JD-U, speaks to The Hindu.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav kicked off his Jan Vishwas Yatra (‘people’s trust journey’) from Muzaffarpur on Tuesday, February 20 to cover a distance of over 450 km and address three rallies in three different districts. He halted for the night in Motihari in East Champaran district, where Mahatma Gandhi commenced his first mass campaign, the Champaran Satyagraha, in 1917. Mr. Yadav spoke to The Hindu at the district guest house, where he was staying. He explained why Bihar CM Nitish Kumar may have switched sides again and asserted that the RJD’s fight was with the BJP. He said Mr. Kumar was a “tired CM” with a “politically expired party” in the Janata Dal-United (JD-U). Excerpts from the interview:
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
