Tejashwi Yadav is confident of defeating NDA:

Tejashwi Yadav emphasized that they are part of the INDIA bloc band the ruling coalition in Jharkhand, and are confident of defeating the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the upcoming elections.

When asked about the specifics of seat-sharing in Jharkhand, Tejashwi Yadav explained that the final distribution of seats would be decided later.

“Both the Jharkhand assembly election and Bihar by-poll will be contested unitedly under the INDIA bloc, and the allocation of seats would be decided in the coming days,” Yadav said while heading to Banka to attend the second phase of the Karyakarta Darshan cum Samvad program, which begin on October 16.

Tejashwi Tadav criticized Giriraj Singh:

When asked about the upcoming Hindu Swabhiman Yatra of Giriraj Singh, aimed at awakening people, Tejashwi Yadav responded with sarcasm, questioning, “Who is asleep?”

Tejashwi Yadav also took a dig at Giriraj Singh, stating that despite being a union minister in the central government, Singh appears to be “jobless.”

Yadav further criticized the nature of such campaigns, accusing Singh and other saffron leaders of focusing on divisive politics.

Advocating for discussions on real and progressive issues, Yadav emphasized the need to focus on topics like education, unemployment and migration, rather than stoking a Hindu-Muslim agenda.

“He is going to awaken the public, but the public will awaken him,” Yadav said.
