• He disputed the BJP’s claim of inaugurating over Rs 50,000 crore in new projects by noting most schemes and foundation stones dated back to announcements made in 2015
• The RJD leader blamed 20 years of NDA rule for driving record unemployment, deepening poverty and fueling large-scale migration from Bihar
• Yadav delivered his critique from Kolkata, where his wife gave birth to their second child and Lalu Prasad Yadav named his grandson Iraj
• Modi’s two-day Bihar tour included inaugurations and foundation-laying events in Karakat, initiatives the RJD argues merely repackaged old schemes
