Patna: Ahead of Rashtriya Janta Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav's Jan Vishwas Yatra, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary on Monday said that Tejashwi Yadav should speak about the corruption done by him and his family.
BJP leader Samrat Chaudhary also expressed confidence in winning all the seats of Bihar in the Lok Sabha election.
"First, he should speak about the corruption done by him and his family. We are fully prepared for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and NDA will win all the seats of Bihar," said Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is set to initiate the "Jan Vishwas Yatra" after being ousted from power in Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav's Yatra would resemble the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi. It is scheduled for February 20-29. It will begin with a rally addressed by Tejashwi Yadav in Muzaffarpur. The Yatra will provide information about the work the government has completed over the past 17 months.
Meanwhile, the Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar on Friday ordered a probe to review the functioning of the departments under Tejashwi Yadav and his close ministers in the previous JDU-RJD government. The work of the Health Department, Road Construction Department, Urban Development and Housing Department and the decisions taken by him will be reviewed.
Earlier, responding to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav's remark that "doors for Nitish Kumar remains open", Janata Dal-United (JDU) MLA Gopal Mandal said that Bihar chief minister will not turn back now.
"The door always remains open, in politics no one's door remains closed. When one wants to enter will enter, but Nitish Kumar will not turn back now, let it continue till 2024, the future will be seen," he said.
When asked about giving a chance to Nitish Kumar again, Lalu Prasad Yadav on February 16 said, "Ab aayenge toh dekhenge, khula hi rehta hai darwaaza' (if he will we will see, door remains open)."
Earlier, after winning the floor test, CM Kumar took a swipe at his former Mahagathbandhan ally Rashtriya Janata Dal and alleged that the RJD indulged in "corrupt practices" during the party's rule in the state adding that the Bihar government will initiate a probe into it.
The JD(U) has 45 MLAs in the House of 243 while its partners, the BJP and the Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular (HAM-S), have 79 and four legislators respectively. The NDA has the support of 128 MLAs and the majority mark in the state assembly is 122.
