Nitish has only spent 60% of budget: Tejashwi

October 22, 2020 10:50

Battle for Bihar: Tejashwi Yadav, RJD Leader: "The Bihar government has spent only 60 per cent of the budget. Be it floods or Corona, Nitish Kumar turned away from people of Bihar. Now during election time, on what basis is he going to them and asking for votes. All he has done is get everyone beaten with a stick."

With a week to go before the polls, images of massive crowds at the rallies of Tejashwi Yadav, the Rashtriya Janata Dal chief and the opposition mahagatbandhan's chief ministerial face, are believed to have caused some trepidation among Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's supporters.

Yadav on Tuesday hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP saying that if he is inexperienced as a leader then why is the world's largest party using its full force against him.

"If I am inexperienced then why are you (BJP) deploying full force against me? This proves that they are desperate. Is Nitish Kumar's face not working? BJP is the largest party in the world but they don't have any CM candidate," said Yadav while speaking to the reporters.

"They have used full force against me and I am alone. They call me inexperienced but I have been an MLA, Leader of Opposition and also held deputy CM's post. My five years of experience is equivalent to 50 years of experience," he added.
