NEW DELHI: Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD) chief Tej Pratap Yadav on Tuesday took a jibe at his younger brother and Mahagathbandhan ’s chief ministerial nominee, Tejashwi Pratap Yadav , calling him “still a child.”
Responding to a question about Tejashwi’s campaign in Mahua, Tej Pratap said, “Bachaa hai, chunaav baad usko jhunjhuna pakdayenge. ... If he goes to our area, we'll go to his area too. Then we'll go to Raghopur.”
He added that since Tejashwi had campaigned in his constituency, he would in turn visit Raghopur, from where Tejashwi is contesting.
Tej Pratap filed his nomination from the Mahua constituency on October 16. Earlier, on October 13, the JJD announced its first list of 22 candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
A day before his remarks on Tejashwi, Tej Pratap also took a dig at Congress leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi , suggesting he was unfit for politics.
“Rahul Gandhi's job is to ride a motorcycle and spread pollution. He'll spend his entire life fishing. The country will be plunged into darkness... 'Jalebi chhan'na, machli pakadna, unko toh rasoiya hona chaiye tha'. Why did he become a politician?,” he said.
The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections will witness a contest between the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Mahagathbandhan. The NDA comprises the Bharatiya Janata Party, Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), and Rashtriya Lok Morcha.
Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj has also announced plans to contest all 243 seats in the state.
Voting for the Bihar Assembly will take place in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results to be declared on November 14.
