HIS ANOINTMENT has been more than a decade in the making. Fittingly then, in a state where a ‘rath yatra’ stopped by his father set politics of the country on a new course, Tejashwi Yadav is seen as having sounded his arrival with a yatra of his own.
Bihar Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday embarked on a 10-day statewide Jan Vishwas Yatra during which he and his Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) will cover 33 of all 38 districts of the state. The yatra, which will conclude on March 1, marks an early start for Tejashwi’s Lok Sabha election campaign and provides him with the chance to establish the RJD’s poll narrative.
Less than a month after quitting his alliance with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday said that the new government will probe the irregularities that have taken place during JD(U)-RJD rule in the state. The development comes against the backdrop of the Bihar government ordering a review of decisions taken by the departments headed by former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and two RJD ministers Lalit Yadav and Ramanand Yadav.
Having worked behind the scenes with Tejashwi Yadav for more than a decade, the former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister’s political advisor Sanjay Yadav has been rewarded with a Rajya Sabha nomination. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) sprung a surprise by nominating the 41-year-old Yadav on Wednesday, leaving out retiring MP Aafaq Karim.
In an exchange of words with his former deputy Tejashwi Yadav during the trust vote in the Bihar Assembly Monday, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar threw a taunt at the RJD that is being read as another sign of how far the JD(U) leader who once swore by secularism has travelled in the course of his flip-flops across the political spectrum.
As the Nitish Kumar government sailed through to a 129-0 majority in the trust vote on Monday after Opposition MLAs staged a walkout, three Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLAs and one from the Janata Dal (United)grabbed the limelight.
THREE RJD MLAs crossed over to the NDA while five absent JD(U) MLAs turned up with just a few minutes to go for voting, helping Chief Minister Nitish Kumar win the trust vote easily on Monday with 129 votes in its favour. There was no vote against, as the Opposition walked out before the voting.
It is the start of the week and we are in for a ride. Among the big political stories of the day will be the Bihar trust vote as Nitish Kumar, sworn in for the ninth time as CM on January 28, proves that his NDA government has the majority in the state Assembly.
