Asked about her elder son and expelled RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav contesting the elections separately from JJD (Janshakti Janata Dal), Rabri Devi said he is right in his place. The grand alliance has already declared RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial candidate and Mukesh Sahni as its deputy chief ministerial candidate. On Tuesday, the grand alliance, while addressing a joint press conference in Patna, released its manifesto titled ‘Bihar’s stunning pledge’, outlining key promises ahead of the elections.
Earlier, Tejashwi Yadav accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA of exploiting Bihar for votes and setting up industries in Gujarat and keeping the state “captive”. Yadav stressed that the 2025 Bihar elections are an opportunity for the people to “oust” the NDA government from power for the progress of the state. Tejashwi Yadav told reporters, “Political parties exploit Bihar for votes and keep Bihar enslaved by setting up industries in Gujarat. In this election, people have a chance to drive them out for the progress of the state. I appeal to the citizens of Bihar to unite and stop these parties from coming back to power.”
