RJD leader Tejaswhi Yadav, who turned out to be a major crowd-puller at Bihar election rallies, told NDTV: "We just use one chopper, and party fund pays for it. Our party is always under the scanner. Some people have 30 helicopters... yet no questions are asked."
"Nitish Kumar uses the state government's helicopter. Ours is much smaller," he said, adding that the RJD spends about one lakh per hour on the helicopter while Nitish Kumar spends "around Rs 5 lakh per hour".
