Patna (Bihar): Mahagathbandan's chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has lost his credibility and the JDU-BJP alliance is all set to lose this election.
"Nitish Kumar's credibility is completely destroyed. After the first phase of polling, there is a clear message to the country that election can be fought on issues.
BJP and Nitish Kumar will not come back to power," Tejashwi said.
Earlier in the day, RJD leader hit out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, alleging that his government was involved in over 60 scams of over Rs 30,000 crore.
As proof of his claim, Tejashwi shared a video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi listing over 30 scams linked to the state government. "Under respected Nitish Kumar Ji, over 60 scams of over 30,000 crores have happened. Of these, 33 were listed by PM Modi five years back...You can listen for yourself," Tejashwi Yadav tweeted (roughly translated from Hindi). Yadav asserted that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar does not speak on the real issues of the state. Speaking to reporters, Tejashwi Yadav said, "Padhayi (education), Kamayi (earning), Sichai (irrigation), Dawai (medicine) are the real issues of Bihar on which Nitish Kumar never speaks." He further said, "We are thinking of making the present and future better, but the Chief Minister wants to keep referring to the past. Why he does not speak on unemployment, price rise and industries."
