Tejashwi Yadav Challenges Nitish Kumar's Claims of Political Influence

The RJD leader asserts he helped Nitish Kumar retain the Chief Minister's post twice, countering Kumar's remarks about elevating Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Nitish Kumar claimed in the Bihar assembly that he played a key role in shaping Lalu Prasad Yadav's political career, including helping him become Chief Minister in 1990.
Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Yadav's son and RJD leader, countered by stating that he saved Nitish Kumar's party and helped him retain the Chief Minister's post twice during coalition governments.
Tejashwi emphasized that his father, Lalu Yadav, had already established himself in politics before Nitish Kumar's involvement, having been elected as an MLA and MP multiple times.
RJD leader Manoj Jha criticized Nitish Kumar's remarks, sarcastically referring to him as 'Brahma' and expressing concern over his rhetoric.
The political exchange highlights the long-standing rivalry and complex alliances between Nitish Kumar and the RJD, rooted in decades of Bihar's political history.
