Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of running Bihar by “remote control from Gujarat.”
Speaking to the media in Patna, Tejashwi Yadav said, “Two individuals will run Bihar from Gujarat,” in an apparent reference to top BJP leaders based in Gujarat who, he alleged, would call the shots in the state after Nitish Kumar steps down as Chief Minister.
The remark comes at a time of major political flux in Bihar. Nitish Kumar is widely expected to resign from the post of Chief Minister shortly, with reports suggesting he may do so as early as April 14, paving the way for a new government. Yadav claimed that a deal to remove Nitish Kumar had been struck much earlier by “bigwigs” and that some JD(U) leaders were either intimidated or lured by the BJP and central agencies.
Tejashwi Yadav further alleged that JD(U) leaders conspired with the BJP out of fear of CBI and ED probes, forcing Nitish Kumar’s exit. He criticised the ruling dispensation for turning Bihar into a state controlled from outside, while local leaders merely followed instructions.
This sharp political attack comes days after Nitish Kumar was sworn in as a Rajya Sabha MP and as his belongings were reportedly being shifted out of the Chief Minister’s residence. The developments have triggered intense speculation over the next Chief Minister and the stability of the NDA alliance in Bihar.
The RJD has been aggressively positioning itself as the champion of Bihari pride and local leadership, contrasting it with what Tejashwi described as “remote control” politics from Gujarat. He has repeatedly accused the BJP-led alliance of exploiting Bihar for votes while decisions are taken elsewhere.
Political observers see Tejashwi Yadav’s statement as part of the RJD’s strategy to highlight “outsider control” and consolidate support ahead of any possible political realignment or future electoral battles in the state.
As Bihar braces for a change in leadership, the coming days are expected to see heightened political activity, with alliances being tested and claims flying thick and fast from both sides.
