Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav compared Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to an old car that needs to be replaced. Yadav said Bihar needs a new thinker and a new brand of seeds. He also praised his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, predicting that those who once criticised him would one day give him the Bharat Ratna for empowering the poor, Dalits, and marginalised communities. He said: \”If you give me a chance, I will bring financial stability and social justice, and stop migration from Bihar,\” he promised. He criticised the government for failing to provide jobs, forcing Biharis to migrate for work. The RJD leader claimed that bribery in government offices and police stations is rampant and that crimes against women have increased. The liquor ban law has completely failed in Bihar. A bottle of liquor that was available at Rs 200 earlier is currently available at £1,000. The remarks signal a direct challenge toNitish Kumar’s leadership, positioning himself as the face of Bihar’s future.
