Patna: Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has taken to Twitter to launch a scathing attack on the NDA government in Bihar, comparing it to an outdated and dysfunctional system. On social media, he asked how a 20-year-old administration could be deemed genuine, linking it to the kind of social media posts people make about the cars of a state.
Hitanshu Kaushik, a representative of a truck owner association, said, “Vehicles more than 15 years old are not allowed to run in Bihar as they produce many fumes and pollute the environment and also endanger the public health. So, that’s why the 20-year-old makeshift, unsteady, and crumbling NDA government should continue to exist? Tejashwi wrote in his post.
In a pointed comment against those clamoring about pollution, the RJD leader said that over the last 20 years, the Nitish Kumar government had enforced “heavy pollution” in the guise of poverty, unemployment, corruption, crime, and migration all over the streets, villages, and towns of Bihar. “Two generations of lives have been ruined by this government. Now it has become a pain for the people of Bihar, and its ban has become a necessity,” he insisted.
बिहार में 𝟏𝟓 साल पुरानी गाड़ी चलाने की अनुमति नहीं है क्योंकि वो ज़्यादा धुँधा फेंकती है, प्रदूषण बढ़ाती, जनता के लिए हानिकारक है तो फिर 𝐍𝐃𝐀 की 𝟐𝟎 साल पुरानी जोड़-तोड़, पलटा-पलटी वाली खटारा सरकार क्यों चलेगी?

Tejashwi said the youth of Bihar have decided to defeat the NDA, which has become an “old, crumbling, tired, and unreliable” government. He called for a paradigm shift in leadership that is a harbinger of fresh ideas, a new vision, and a renewed commitment to the creation of significant numbers of jobs and sustainable development. He said, “It is time to have a government that is serious about development.”
In response to Tejashwi, BJP spokesperson Prabhakar Mishra dismissed his statements and said that the RJD leader had “lost his mental balance.”
Tejashwi has been on overdrive attacking the NDA government with the Bihar Assembly elections due at the end of the year. He recently accused the BJP of blocking reservations and described the party as an “enemy of reservations.”
He claimed that a 65 percent reservation policy introduced during his 17-month chief ministership had not been included in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution by the central NDA government, creating a legal jam. He alleged that Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) have received a blow of 16 percent in reservations directly due to BJP-NDA slackness, causing more than 50,000 aspirants to lose out on jobs.
Tejashwi wrapped up his statement with a clarion call for a common stand against the ‘anti-reservation’ posture of the BJP-NDA and a lesson for them in the coming elections.
