Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition and a prominent figure in the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), launched a pointed critique against Bihar’s Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, during a press interaction in Patna. Yadav referred to Kumar as an “unconscious” and “puppet Chief Minister,” claiming that the state government is largely influenced by corrupt officials rather than by elected representatives of the people. He expressed his concern for the political landscape in Bihar, stating that it reflects poorly on the state’s governance.

Heated Exchange in the Bihar Assembly

The Bihar Legislative Assembly experienced intense verbal exchanges as both Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav confronted each other over the current political dynamics in the state. Amid the ongoing Budget Session that began on February 6, Chief Minister Kumar questioned the circumstances surrounding the alleged bribery of six MLAs purportedly intended to destabilize his government. He directly challenged Yadav, asking him how much he had allegedly paid to these MLAs and the source of that money.

In a related political development, Anant Singh, an MLA from the Janata Dal (United), completed the oath-taking ceremony in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha. His formal induction was delayed due to his imprisonment in Beur Jail, attributed to his arrest in connection with the murder case of Dularchand Yadav. Singh made his way to the assembly in an ambulance, receiving Kumar’s blessings by touching his feet before taking the oath.
