Overview

  • Tejashwi Yadav claims ₹225 crore of public funds were diverted for 'Mahila Samvad', a program he describes as political propaganda ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.
  • He accuses government ministers of taking 30% commissions on fast-tracked construction contracts, with ₹76,622 crore approved in just seven cabinet meetings since December 2024.
  • The opposition leader highlights Bihar's rising debt, with annual interest payments of ₹25,000–30,000 crore, as evidence of fiscal mismanagement.
  • The ruling JD(U) denies all allegations, asserting a zero-tolerance policy on corruption and defending 'Mahila Samvad' as a welfare initiative aimed at empowering women.
  • The accusations have escalated political tensions in Bihar as the state gears up for elections later this year, with both sides trading barbs over governance and accountability.
