'Leaders who avoid ground-level work operate from AC rooms,' says Tej Pratap; visits Mahua on motorcycle

JD(U) leader Tej Pratap Yadav rides motorcycle to Mahua, slams leaders who avoid ground work and operate from AC rooms while highlighting development achievements.

"Leaders who avoid ground-level work operate from air-conditioned rooms. Those who stay grounded remain connected to the land - Tej Pratap Yadav"

New Delhi, Oct 27

National President of the Janshakti Janata Dal, Tej Pratap Yadav, on Monday criticised leaders who, he said, stay disconnected from the people and “operate from AC rooms, avoiding ground-level work.”

Speaking to IANS, Tej Pratap remarked, “Leaders who avoid ground-level work operate from air-conditioned rooms. Those who stay grounded remain connected to the land, while we work on the ground.”

On being asked why he chose not to travel in an AC car to meet the people of Mahua, Tej Pratap explained, “That’s why I chose to come on a motorbike to meet my people, instead of being like those leaders who move around in air-conditioned cars. I am grounded, that’s why I came on a bike.”

Highlighting his development work in the region, he added, “Earlier, people used to visit Patna for medical treatment, but now they get treatment here in Mahua itself. I have worked for their betterment. The people here want work; they want employment, but they do not get it. Roads will also be built, and we will win.”

"I have worked a lot in Mahua, there were no proper roads here. We have worked on development, including starting the work to open a medical college," he added.

Tej Pratap, the elder son of former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi distanced himself from his father and brother, Tejashwi Yadav, marking a clear rift within the prominent political family after being excluded from the party and family.

Tej Pratap, who previously served as Bihar’s health minister from 2015 to 2017 and won the Mahua Assembly seat in 2015, is highlighting the stalled hospital project to address local grievances and reinforce his commitment to improving regional healthcare infrastructure.

The Bihar Assembly elections 2025 are scheduled for November 6 and 11, with the results to be announced on November 14.

While I appreciate the gesture, let's not forget he was health minister for 2 years. The medical college he's talking about should have been completed by now. Actions speak louder than bike rides.

This is just political drama before elections. Every politician becomes "common man" during election season. Let's see if he continues this after winning.

At least he's trying to connect with people directly. In a country where politicians are often inaccessible, this approach is refreshing. Hope the development work continues!

The real test is whether roads are actually built and medical facilities improve. We've heard promises before. Show us results, not just photo opportunities! 🏥

Interesting to see the family dynamics playing out in public. Whether it's genuine concern or political strategy, the focus should remain on development work for the people.
