Patna, April 14 Following the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Samrat Choudhary being elected as the leader of the BJP legislative party, paving the way for him to become the next Chief Minister of Bihar, preparations for the formation of a new government in the state have intensified. Amid the political transition, Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, launched a sharp attack on both Nitish Kumar and the BJP.

Tejashwi Yadav alleged that by stepping down, Nitish Kumar has paved the way for a party that, according to him, follows the ideology of Nathuram Godse.

He said that while Nitish Kumar often invoked the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, his resignation has enabled the BJP to come to power.

He further remarked that this political shift contradicts the legacy of leaders like Karpoori Thakur, suggesting that those once critical of such leaders are now being empowered.

The RJD leader questioned the legitimacy of the upcoming government, asserting that the new leadership will not truly reflect the people’s mandate and adding that the current political developments are detached from public will.

Tejashwi Yadav also invoked the legacy of Lalu Prasad Yadav, claiming that many of the leaders currently rising in Bihar politics — including Samrat Choudhary — have emerged from what he described as Lalu Prasad’s school of politics.

He pointed out that Lalu Prasad had played a role in shaping the early political careers of several leaders, asserting that this influence continues to define Bihar’s political landscape.

In a sharp concluding remark, Tejashwi Yadav alleged that Bihar would now effectively be governed from outside the state, suggesting external political control over decision-making.

The statement of Tejashwi Yadav came after the BJP Legislative Party elected Samrat Choudhary as the new leader of the BJP, and he is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar.

With the resignation of Nitish Kumar, Samrat Choudhary will take charge of the office of the Chief Minister soon. Bihar’s political atmosphere has become increasingly charged.

As parties trade sharp statements, all eyes are now on the formal announcement of the new government.
