Q/Would Tejashwi Yadav be able to challenge Nitish Kumar and the image he has built over the last 15 years?
A/To measure the image of the Nitish Kumar government, you only have to look at the Muzaffarpur shelter home incident. What can be more shameful than orphan girls being exploited in a government-run institution? The Supreme Court had passed strictures against the Bihar government in this case.
If the Grand Alliance comes to power, we will bring out the harsh truths in the case. Nitish Kumar will even go to jail in several corruption cases. We don’t have to find out anything more to say about Nitish Kumar; we only have to pick from the charges that the BJP and the JD(U) had hurled at each other when Nitish Kumar was against Narendra Modi. The BJP had even ridiculed Nitish Kumar’s DNA.
