Tejashwi Yadav has no merit; he is desperate to become Bihar CM: alleges Independent MP Pappu Yadav
Independent MP Pappu Yadav has publicly criticized RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, questioning his merit and accusing him of being desperate for the Bihar Chief Minister position. He also suggested that the Congress party should distance itself from the RJD in Bihar politics.
Why it matters
This internal friction within the opposition alliance in Bihar could significantly impact the upcoming legislative council elections and future state-level political stability.
Independent MP from Purnea constituency Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav on Friday slammed Opposition mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) alliance partner in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal and its leader Tejashwi Yadav alleging Tejashwi Yadav has “no merit and he has become desperate to become chief minister of Bihar”.
The Purnea MP also urged Congress party to chart its own separate way in Bihar beyond alliance with RJD. State Congress president Rajesh Ram along with senior party leader from Bihar Kishore Kumar Jha too echoed the same.
“RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has no merit and has become desperate to be the chief minister of Bihar. RJD and Tejashwi Yadav have become B-team of BJP…Today it is not possible for Tejashwi Yadav to speak to the Congress leader Sonia Gandhi”, alleged Mr Pappu while speaking to media persons in Patna.
