Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s National Democratic Alliance government might have won the floor test in the state Legislative Assembly but Tejashwi Yadav has, successively, won hearts. With a smile on his face, Tejashwi began his speech by saying, “Aap (Nitish) merayaadarniyathay, aadarniyanhain aur aadarniyarahengen (I respected you, respect you and will keep on respecting you).” “You dubbed me ‘beta (son)’. I honored you as an elder of the larger ‘Samajvadiparivar’ and was obedient to you. But you have acted like king Dasratha who exiled his son Ram to the jungle under Kaikeyi’s pressure. I take it as an opportunity to go among the people and struggle for their rights. I will continue my battle against the dictatorial and anti-democratic forces the way my father (Lalu Prasad Yadav) did,” Tejashwi said. Looking at BJP MLAs, the RJD leader said they always make big claims about ‘Modi ki guarantee’, can Prime Minister Narendra Modi guarantee that Nitishji will not make another U-turn, Tejashwi said sarcastically .
