Tejashwi Yadav slams Nitish Kumar, says he will now stop the juggernaut of Modi in Bihar

Tejashwi Yadav criticizes Nitish Kumar for switching sides with BJP, compares him to Dashrath and warns of betrayal.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Monday came down heavily on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for switching sides with the BJP, during the trust vote in the Bihar Assembly.

Mr. Yadav took a potshot at Mr. Kumar asking the BJP MLAs: “Can Prime Minister Narendra Modi guarantee that Nitish Kumar will not take another U-turn?”

During his 40-minute speech, he used a guarded language against Mr. Kumar. Mr. Yadav referred Mr. Kumar as king Dashrath saying that he had sent his son Lord Ram to the forest for 14 years on the order of Kaikai.

Making a sarcastic remark on the Chief Minister, the RJD leader said that he never witnessed a person taking oath as Chief Minister for nine times and three times in one term. Similarly, Mr. Yadav taunted BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha saying that he too had made a new record by becoming Deputy Chief Minister, Speaker and Leader of the Opposition in one term.

He compared Mr. Kumar to Dashrath and warned him to be aware of the Kaikai in his fold.

“Nitish Kumar ji was always a respectable person for me and will remain respectable in future as well. Many times, he used to tell me that I was like his son, and I too respected him as my guardian. I used to respect him like king Dashrath who always promoted me. There must be some compulsion the way king Dashrath had in form of Kaikai due to which he deserted us. You should be aware to find who is Kaikai in your team,” Mr. Yadav said.

He further stressed that people of Bihar eagerly want to know the reason for frequent flip-flops.
