Tejashwi Yadav

Politician

Indian Village Phulwaria, district Gopalganj, Bihar

Tejashwi Yadav, as Leader of the Opposition, launched a sharp attack on the NDA government in Bihar via a social media post, accusing it of failing the state on all development fronts despite years of 'double-engine' rule. He highlighted Bihar's poor rankings in poverty, migration, unemployment, crime, and corruption under NDA governance. The BJP rejected his claims and countered with their own development figures, escalating a political numbers war.

Tejashwi Yadav formally took charge as RJD's working president in Patna, addressing party leaders and workers with an emotionally charged speech. He outlined an aggressive strategy to strengthen the party at the grassroots booth level, expand its national footprint, mobilize youth support, and counter the NDA government. He accused the ruling dispensation of using intimidation and legal pressure to silence the opposition.

Tejashwi Prasad Yadav was appointed as the national working president of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) during the party's national executive meeting in Patna. The decision, announced by party chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, marks a major generational shift amid concerns over Lalu's health and follows RJD's poor performance in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. This elevation strengthens Tejashwi's position as the political heir, granting him greater authority in the party's organizational hierarchy and day-to-day functioning.
