Tejashwi Yadav is occupying the chair of the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly.

Tejashwi has been speaking for the last 15 minutes and is expected to speak for at least 40 minutes more.

Highlights of his speech...

There have been four governments in four years. Who is responsible for this? People want an answer.

Nitish Kumar has betrayed the 2015 mandate of the people.

You (Nitish Kumar) are using me as a pawn to go over to the BJP. You have gone from saying 'He Ram' when you saw the BJP to saying 'Jai Shri Ram'. He Ram se Jai Shri Ram mein chale gaye.  

The mandate was for five years and it was against the BJP.

Nitish Kumar could not dare to sack me The BJP is greedy. Nitish fought alone in 1995 and got seven seats. In 2014, he was reduced to two seats. Where was his image then?

He said Nitish had planned to go with the BJP well in advance. Nitish's move is well planned. This whole farce was to save Nitish.


Both sides are shouting  at each other in the Bihar Assembly after Tejashwi Yadav tells BJPs Sushil Modi to be ashamed of what he has done.
