Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), announced that the INDIA bloc’s poll manifesto will act as a comprehensive vision document intended to elevate Bihar to the country’s leading state. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, he detailed the bloc’s robust roadmap for growth in Bihar, branding the manifesto as the ‘Tejashwi Pran Patra’ (Tejashwi’s Resolution Document).
The much-anticipated opposition coalition’s manifesto is set to unveil later today, promising to outline key developmental priorities for Bihar’s future.
Yadav did not hold back as he criticized the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He highlighted their inability to reveal a chief ministerial candidate or present their manifesto. “We have taken the initiative by announcing our CM face ahead of the elections. What is the NDA doing? They have neither named their CM candidate nor issued their manifesto. Instead, they simply mimic our promises,” he remarked.
In a pointed attack against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Yadav contended that their administration has failed to yield any substantial progress for Bihar. “Whenever the Prime Minister visits Bihar, he predominantly resorts to criticizing opposition leaders and indulges in negative politics, rather than offering constructive solutions,” Yadav alleged.
The upcoming legislative assembly elections for the 243-member Bihar Assembly are scheduled to occur in two phases on November 6 and November 11. The counting of votes and the declaration of results will follow on November 14.
In preparing for this significant electoral moment, Yadav urged the citizens of Bihar to anticipate a manifesto rich with proposals fostering development, social justice, and infrastructural growth. He expressed confidence that the INDIA bloc would resonate with the electorate’s aspirations for a better future.
As Bihar gears up for this pivotal election, the focus now shifts to the manifesto, which aims to represent the collective vision of the INDIA bloc, offering a concrete plan for harnessing the state’s potential and addressing the pressing issues that affect its people.
