Tejaswi Yadav said, “This is a pledge of parties and hearts.”
Following the release of the manifesto, RJD leader and Chief Ministerial candidate from the Grand Alliance, Tejashwi Yadav, said, “This is a pledge of parties and hearts, and we will fulfill this pledge with all our might. We are new-minded and want to see Bihar as a developed, top-notch Bihar. Some external forces want to colonize Bihar, which we will not allow.”
We will not allow vote theft in Bihar… Tejashwi Yadav said, “I sympathize with our Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and want to say that the BJP and corrupt officials have reduced the Chief Minister to a puppet. The NDA’s Chief Ministerial candidate has not yet been announced, nor has a manifesto been released. Some work is being done in Bihar by instructing officials. But we will not allow vote theft. The people of Bihar will not miss the opportunity this time.”
