Rabri Devi Responds to Tej Pratap Yadav Contesting Bihar Elections News24 –


RJD leader Rabri Devi on Thursday responded on Janshakti Janata Dal leader and her son Tej Pratap Yadav’s contesting Bihar elections. She said let him contest, he is right at his place. The RJD leader claimed RJD will win the elections and Tejashwi Yadav will become the next chief minister of Bihar.

Rabri Devi said, “The public of Bihar have made up their mind to make Tejashwi Yadav the Chief Minister of Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav fulfils what he says.”

Mahagathbandhan has earlier declared RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as their Chief Ministerial candidate and Mukesh Sahani as their Deputy Chief Minister face.

On Tuesday, the Mahagathbandhan released its manifesto titled ‘Bihar Ka Tejashwi Pran’, outlining key promises ahead of the polls, while addressing a joint press conference in Patna.

Earlier today, Tejashwi Yadav accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA of exploiting Bihar for votes while setting up industries in Gujarat, keeping the state “captive.”

Yadav stressed that the 2025 Bihar Election is an opportunity for the people to “drive” the NDA government out of power for the sake of state progress.

“Political parties exploit Bihar for votes and establish industries in Gujarat, keeping Bihar captive. This election, people have an opportunity to drive them out for the state’s progress. I appeal to the citizens of Bihar to unite and prevent these parties from returning to power,” Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.

He also accused the government of bribing ten lakh women by distributing money into their bank accounts. He was referring to the Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyami Scheme, which provides women with an initial grant of Rs 10,000 to start their own businesses.

“The government is distributing money to women’s accounts, alleging it as a bribe before the election, but how can the Election Commission permit this?” he questioned.
