Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a sharp attack on the ruling NDA government on Monday, accusing it of failing Bihar despite being in power for two decades. Speaking at a press conference, Yadav said the “double-engine government” had ample time and opportunity to transform Bihar but instead left it languishing at the bottom on key development indicators.
He remarked, “Even after ruling for 20 years, the NDA has left Bihar at the very bottom. In fact, with double-engine governance over 20 years, Bihar could have become a top-ranked state.” The RJD leader pointed out that under the BJP-led government both at the Centre and the state, Bihar’s youth continue to migrate in large numbers in search of education, jobs, and better healthcare.
Tejashwi further criticised the government’s claims of development, asserting that the data and the people’s lived realities tell a different story. “Over the last 11 years at the Centre and 20 years in the state, many people have migrated from Bihar for education, jobs and medical treatment,” he said, blaming poor governance, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure for the crisis.
