INDIA bloc to name one more Dy CM face soon: Tejashwi

Tejashwi also alleged that Kumar has been hijacked by the BJP, and two people from Gujarat — ostensibly referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah — are “controlling” Bihar.

At a rally at Simri Bakhtiyarpur in Saharsa district, Tejashwi claimed: “Amit Shah has made it clear that elected legislators will decide the CM of Bihar after elections. Nitish Kumar will not be made the CM, if the NDA is voted to power again.”

Taking a jibe at the JD(U) chief at a rally in Darbhanga district’s Keoti, he said: “Our chacha (Nitish Kumar) is not in control of things. He has been hijacked by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah who are operating in Bihar from outside.”

The RJD leader appealed to people to vote for a Bihari and not ‘bahri’ (outsider) in the Assembly elections. Tejashwi promised that he will present a clean government if the Opposition alliance comes to power in the state.

“I feel anguished to see the poor condition of Bihar. It gives me pain when I see widespread unemployment, rampant corruption, and impunity among criminals,” Tejashwi said.

With Deputy CM face Sahani by his side, Tejashwi said that “one more deputy CM face representing another section of society will be announced by the INDIA bloc in the next few days”.
