Tejashwi promised Deputy CM post to at least 25 people: Fadnavis claims RJD leader realises he can't form Bihar Govt

Maharashtra CM Fadnavis alleges Tejashwi Yadav made unrealistic promises including 25 deputy CM posts, while BJP leaders criticize Mahagathbandhan's election manifesto as fiscally impossible.

"Tejashwi Yadav has promised at least 25 people that he will make them Deputy Chief Minister because Tejashwi Yadav knows that he will not get elected - Devendra Fadnavis"

Patna, November 2

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis claimed that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has realised that he would not succeed in forming a government in Bihar and thus resorted to making superficial promises such as offering the post of Deputy Chief Minister to numerous people

"Tejashwi Yadav has promised at least 25 people that he will make them Deputy Chief Minister because Tejashwi Yadav knows that he will not get elected, and only those who are not going to get elected make such promises. Those who are going to get elected know that you have to face reality, you cannot lie to the public, hence they do not make such promises..." Fadnavis stated.

Reacting to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's recent remarks stating that the countdown for the NDA government has begun, Fadnavis said, "Priyanka Gandhi should just tell me what does 'MY' politics mean, is it inclusive politics or divisive?... She has done divisive politics the most."

Union Minister Piyush Goyal had on Saturday called out the poll promise of Tejashwi Yadav to provide a government job to one member of every family in the State in case the Mahagathbandhan is voted to power after the conclusion of the assembly polls in Bihar.Speaking with ANI, Goyal said, "Tejashwi Yadav's promises are a bunch of lies. Nitish Kumar's promises are trustworthy."

This comes after Mahagathbandhan released its election manifesto -- Bihar ka Tejashwi Pran -- in Patna, promising, among other things, government jobs, free power and the old pension scheme. It promised that one member of every family will have a government job within 20 months of the formation of the new government.

The Union Minister also criticised the "fiscally unrealistic" manifesto 'Bihar ka Tejashwi Pran' of the Mahagatbandhan. "If Bihar's budget is increased even 25 times, then also it is not possible," he said, adding that the youth of Bihar are intelligent enough to understand the feasibility of such promises.

Elections for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly is scheduled to be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14.

While I agree that promising 25 deputy CM posts sounds unrealistic, let's not forget that all parties make tall promises during elections. The real issue is whether any government can actually deliver on job promises for every family.

As a Bihari youth, I'm tired of these empty promises election after election. Government job for every family? Even if budget increases 25 times, it's impossible! We need realistic development plans, not fairy tales. 🇮🇳

Interesting to see Maharashtra CM commenting on Bihar politics. While the criticism might be valid, shouldn't we focus more on what each party is actually offering for Bihar's development rather than personal attacks?

The old pension scheme promise is actually good for government employees. But the job guarantee for every family seems fiscally irresponsible. Bihar needs sustainable economic growth, not populist measures that will bankrupt the state.

Let the people of Bihar decide what's best for them. Both sides are making claims and counter-claims. Ultimately, voters are smart enough to see through empty promises. Jai Bihar! 🙏
