Tejashwi Yadav Slams PM Modi’s Bihar Visit, Targets NDA Over Unfulfilled Promises and Dynastic Politics

Patna: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to visit Bihar, political tensions in the state have intensified with sharp criticism coming from Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, who accused the BJP-led NDA of exploiting communal divisions and failing to address pressing public issues.

Yadav has raised questions over the intent and timing of the Prime Minister’s visit, claiming it is driven more by political posturing than by any commitment to resolve Bihar’s longstanding challenges such as unemployment, inflation, and poverty. The RJD leader has also criticised what he sees as a shift in focus from development to divisive political narratives.

Targeting the BJP over its repeated attacks on dynastic politics, Yadav alleged that the NDA government in Bihar itself includes a large number of ministers from political families, undermining its claims of opposing nepotism. He also referred to the ruling alliance as functioning like a club of political beneficiaries, sarcastically dubbing it a “National Daamaad Aayog” in reference to perceived favoritism in appointments.

The issue of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, was also brought into the political spotlight. Yadav suggested that there are deliberate efforts within the ruling camp to block Nishant Kumar’s entry into active politics, hinting at internal rivalries within the NDA’s ranks.

He further criticised State Minister Ashok Chaudhary, implying that certain leaders within the alliance are more focused on promoting their own relatives rather than allowing new faces from established families to emerge.

Yadav also directed his fire at newly emerging political formations in the state. Without naming individuals directly, he alleged that new political parties are being floated with the backing of ideological forces like the RSS, suggesting these parties are part of a broader effort to fragment the opposition vote ahead of the assembly elections. These parties, he argued, will disappear after serving their short-term political purpose.

Meanwhile, Prashant Kishor, the founder of Jan Suraaj Party, has emerged as a key figure in Bihar’s evolving political landscape. While Kishor has dismissed the nepotism charges against him, Yadav’s remarks appear aimed at painting both national and regional rivals with the same brush—accusing them of undermining democratic values while pursuing personal or ideological agendas.
