The remark “Tejashwi Eyes AD Singh Pocket” sparked a political clash in Bihar ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections. A minister in Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s cabinet accused opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav of making loud statements to hide his expected defeat in the upcoming poll.
Cooperation Minister Pramod Chandravanshi said Tejashwi Yadav does not have enough votes to secure victory. According to him, the RJD leader is ignoring the likely loss and targeting Mahagathbandhan candidate Amarendra Dhari Singh for political reasons.
Chandravanshi also took a personal swipe at Tejashwi. He claimed the RJD leader inherited “boastful politics” from his father Lalu Prasad. He said that if Tejashwi truly had political strength, he would have fielded a member of his own family for the Rajya Sabha seat.
Bihar will vote for five Rajya Sabha seats. NDA leaders believe they can win four seats easily, while the contest for the fifth seat remains intense. The political fight between the NDA and the opposition alliance is expected to stay sharp until the final voting.
