Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejaswi Yadav has strongly criticized the NDA government, accusing it of neglecting Bihar’s development needs. His remarks came in response to a tweet by RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, which highlighted the achievements of the Bihar rail factory during his tenure as Railway Minister.
Tejaswi emphasized the significant progress Bihar made when his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, served as Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009. “The data given by Lalu ji is true,” Tejaswi said, pointing out that during that period, Bihar received several factories, including the rail factory, which has manufactured over 2 lakh wheels. “It is delightful to see this progress,” he added.
He also recalled that during the UPA-1 government, Bihar had 22 MPs and received a substantial package of Rs 1.5 lakh crore, thanks to the efforts of Lalu Prasad Yadav and then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In contrast, Tejaswi criticized the NDA, noting that despite having 39 MPs from Bihar in 2019 and 30 MPs currently, the state has been “cheated” and has not received the promised development. “They have only deceived Bihar,” he said, underscoring the need for progressive politics to ensure the state’s advancement.
