Tejashwi vs. Modi: Bihar Opposition Leader Raises Accountability Questions

Tejashwi Prasad Yadav

Patna: Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has taken direct aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, raising ten pointed questions covering a range of issues including nepotism, youth employment, and the actions of investigative agencies.

Tejashwi’s scathing critique questions the BJP’s alleged use of investigative agencies to target opposition leaders, the conversion of allegedly corrupt politicians into BJP members, and the flow of electoral bonds to the ruling party. The questions, posed on social media, challenge the Prime Minister to address what Tejashwi perceives as systemic corruption within the BJP.

Furthermore, Tejashwi challenges the Prime Minister on issues of governance, including the lack of raids on BJP leaders by investigative agencies and the party’s promises regarding job creation and special status for Bihar.

In response, Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary has fired back, recounting personal grievances against the Yadav family, specifically citing actions taken against him during Lalu Yadav’s tenure as Chief Minister. Chaudhary’s remarks underscore the intense political rivalry and personal animosities that often characterize Bihar’s political landscape.

This exchange comes in the wake of Tejashwi’s public meeting in Jamui, where he criticized the Prime Minister’s silence on issues of familyism and development in the region. Tejashwi posed five questions regarding the progress and development of Jamui, challenging the government’s track record in addressing the needs of the constituency.

As the political rhetoric intensifies ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, both sides are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to sway public opinion. Tejashwi’s relentless questioning and PM Modi’s scheduled rally underscore the high stakes involved in Bihar’s electoral battleground.

With the electorate eagerly awaiting answers to their pressing concerns, the political discourse in Bihar continues to evolve, setting the stage for a heated electoral contest in the days to come.
