New Delhi [India], April 15 (ANI): Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday emphasized that in the 2025 Bihar Assembly polls, the state will be freed from the BJP and its "opportunist" alliance.
In a post on X, Kharge posted a video of meeting Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav and others in New Delhi to begin preparations for the Bihar Assembly polls, scheduled to be held later this year.
"This time, change is certain in Bihar. Today, we met the former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav and discussed the strengthening of the Mahagathbandhan. In the coming elections, we will give the people of Bihar a strong, positive, just and welfare-oriented option. Bihar will be freed from the BJP and its opportunistic alliance," Kharge said.
"Youth, farmers-labourers, women, backwards, extremely backward and people of all other sections of the society want the Mahagathbandhan government," the Congress President said.
Earlier today, after meeting with the Congress' top leadership to discuss preparations for the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that the opposition alliance is united and fully prepared to take Bihar forward.
Speaking to the media, Yadav said that another meeting with alliance partners will be held on April 17 in Patna.
Further, slamming the NDA, the former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister said that even after 20 years of its rule, Bihar remains the poorest state with the lowest per capita and farmers' incomes and the highest migration rate.
"We had a meeting and had positive discussions. We will meet again on 17 April in Patna, along with other alliance parties. We are fully prepared, and we want to take Bihar forward. Even after 20 years of NDA government in the state, Bihar is the poorest state, where per capita income and farmers' income are the lowest, and migration is the highest. We want to contest elections based on issues. It is the duty of all of us to highlight the shortcomings of the government," Tejashwi Yadav said.
On the question of the Chief Ministerial's face, he said it would be decided unanimously while also declaring that the NDA will not form the government in Bihar at this time.
"We will discuss and unanimously decide the CM face. 'Nitish Ji to hijack ho chuke hain'. NDA is not forming the government in Bihar this time," the RJD leader said. (ANI)
