Tejashwi Ends First Leg of Bihar Yatra With Jobs Pitch as BJP Pushes Unverified Abuse Video

Yadav says seat-sharing is almost final, alleging the poll body aided the BJP in past contests.

Overview

  • Wrapping up a five-day tour on September 20, Tejashwi Yadav covered 28 assembly segments across 11 districts with a focus on employment, migration, corruption and law and order.
  • He promised jobs for degree-holders and framed the campaign around factories, education, health and irrigation, positioning himself as the INDIA bloc’s face in Bihar.
  • Responding to Amit Shah’s remark that he would not dare contest in future, Yadav called the warning a hollow threat and vowed to unseat the Nitish Kumar-led NDA.
  • The RJD leader accused the NDA of looting Bihar and said there is “abundant evidence” the Election Commission sided with the BJP, adding that seat-sharing within the Mahagathbandhan is nearly settled.
  • BJP leaders circulated a viral clip alleging abusive slogans about the PM’s late mother at an RJD rally; PTI said it could not verify the video and RJD figures called it doctored, as the row deepened ahead of state polls.
