As the electoral showdown in Bihar heats up, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Mahagathbandhan's chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav has launched a vigorous campaign offensive.
Speaking at a press conference in Patna, he unleashed a scathing attack on the incumbent Nitish Kumar government, branding it visionless and corrupt, and asserted that Bihar's people are desperately yearning for change.Beats Studio Buds - Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Up to 8H Battery Life, Up to 24H w Charging Case, IPX4 Rating, Sweat Resistant, Apple & Android Compatible, Built-in Mic - White
Corruption and crime have reached unprecedented heights under this regime, Yadav charged, accusing the BJP-JD(U) alliance of siphoning Bihar's funds to Gujarat even through the state budget.
These provocative remarks have further inflamed the already charged election atmosphere. Yadav highlighted widespread support from all castes and communities during his rallies, declaring, "Bihar's voters gave the BJP 20 years in power; we're only asking for 20 months to deliver real transformation.

This time, change is inevitable. He reaffirmed the Mahagathbandhan's commitment to forging a new Bihar through united efforts. Targeting small-scale workers, Yadav unveiled a major promise If his government assumes power, artisans like potters, barbers, and other informal laborers will receive ₹5 lakh each to launch self-employment ventures.
This move is poised to woo skilled workers in rural and semi-urban areas. Building on past initiatives like the 'Mai Behen Mann Yojana' and 'Har Ghar Naukri', he pledged state employee status for Jeevika and contract workers.
Additionally, Yadav announced doubling honorariums for panchayat and village representatives, along with pensions for former ones aimed squarely at consolidating rural votes.Also Read: Nitish Kumar-Led JD(U) Expels 11 Leaders Ahead of Elections..!
These strategic pledges pose a direct challenge to the NDA coalition. With the 243-seat Bihar Assembly polls slated for October-November, the Mahagathbandhan eyes victory, and Yadav's infectious enthusiasm is galvanizing the state.
