RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav vows to work for "backward class", says "your fight will be my fight"

Patna (Bihar) [India], July 13 (ANI): While addressing the Chaurasiya Rajnitik Chetna Sammellan in Patna, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav vowed to work for the "backward classes" and "tribal community", stating that their "fight" will be his "fight".
Recalling the 90s period, Tejashwi Yadav said that his father Lalu Prasad Yadav didn't leave any opportunity to give a chance to those who didn't get an opportunity to participate in politics.
"Lalu Prasad Yadav and we all have always tried to bring all the people of the backward classes or the tribal community into the mainstream. In the 90s, there was not a moment when Lalu Prasad Yadav left any opportunity where people were not given the opportunity to participate in politics... Now you don't have to worry about anything because your problem is my problem. Your fight will be my fight", Tejashwi Yadav said while addressing the gathering.
Meanwhile, a scuffle broke out on the stage before Tejashwi Yadav arrived for the Chaurasiya Rajnitik Chetna Sammellan. The reason behind the incident was allegedly related to the stage related arrangements for the event.
Earlier today, Tejashwi Yadav raised serious concerns about voter verification and possible deletion of names from the electoral rolls.
Addressing a press conference here today, Tejashwi claimed that if even one per cent of voters are left out during the verification process, nearly 7.9 lakh voters across the State could lose their right to vote. "This means around 3,251 voters could be removed in each assembly seat," he said.
He pointed out that during the last election, RJD lost 52 seats by margins of just around 5,000 votes. "If 3,200 votes are cut in each assembly, it can make a big difference," he said.
Tejashwi alleged that many of these voters are people who have migrated outside Bihar for work and questioned whether their names were being removed without proper checks or communication. "Is this just eyewash? Why are these voter deletions happening under the direction of Amit Shah or Modi ji?" he asked.
He further asked whether the Election Commission was carrying out these actions without informing the public and demanded transparency in the voter verification process ahead of the elections. "Is this being done without concern, without informing the voters?" he added. (ANI)
