Tejashwi Yadav Uses Viral Video to Question Nitish Kumar’s Fitness to Govern

JD(U) rejects the charge as electioneering with no medical evaluation made public.

Overview

  • The RJD leader shared a clip from a virtual function linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showing Nitish Kumar on-screen with folded hands staring at his computer.
  • Tejashwi alleged the chief minister’s behaviour raises doubts about his mental health and capacity to govern, citing earlier controversial remarks and a past anthem incident.
  • He speculated that close aides could be tampering with the chief minister’s food at the behest of the BJP, presenting the suggestion without independent evidence.
  • JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar dismissed the claims and credited Nitish Kumar with strengthening Bihar’s political, social and economic health.
  • The exchange reflects sharpening electoral messaging ahead of the 2025 Bihar assembly polls, with no inquiry or medical assessment publicly disclosed.
