Prashant Kishore, the head of the Jan Suraj Party, criticized former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, questioned his political credibility and claimed that he was in the post due to his father Lalu Prasad Yadav. In a special interview with ANI, Kishore said that Tejashwi Yadav lacks independent political identity and credibility. He further emphasized that Tejashwi would not have any significant identity without his father’s name.

Taking a sarcasm at Tejashwi, he asked, “Tejashwi Yadav is the son of Lalu Yadav. Whatever is Tejashwi is because of Lalu Yadav. If Lalu Yadav is not named, what is his identity for you?” Kishore argued that Tejashwi’s position is only because of his descent, not because of his achievements or abilities. He said that there are many young leaders in the Yadav society who have more capacity than Tejashwi.
He said that you said that Tejashwi Yadav is a young leader. There are many young leaders. Yadav is more young leader in society. But the foundation on which they are now is not because they have achieved anything. He is in this position only because he is the son of Lalu Yadav. Kishore highlighted that RJD supremo Lalu Yadav’s popularity has reduced considerably in the last few years. He won the election only once in 1995 and since then the number of MPs has been steadily declining.

Kishore told ANI, “Lalu Yadav won the election only once in 1995. And he won when he was seen as the leader of the poor. After that when he became the leader of the backward, his number of MPs came down to 20-25. When he became the leader of the Yadavs, it has reduced to 10-12. Now he has been the leader of RJD Yadavs.” Kishore, who is constantly roaming in the interiors of Bihar as part of his ambitious visit, challenged the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi and questioned his commitment to Bihar and accused him of making a showy gesture rather than a real political connection.
