"Tejashwi Yadav will become Bihar Chief Minister this time": RJD chief Lalu Yadav

Patna (Bihar) [India], November 3 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Monday expressed confidence that Mahagathbandhan's Chief Ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav will become the next Chief Minister of Bihar following the state assembly elections.
Speaking to ANI, RJD chief said, "Tejashwi Yadav will become the Chief Minister this time. The government will be changed on 14th November."
On RJD poll campaign, former Bihar Chief Minister said that Tejashwi is getting support across state.
"The election campaign is going on very well. The alliance will win. The local leaders are working well. There is massive support from the people. Tejashwi is getting people's support," Lalu Yadav said.
Mahagathbandhan's CM nominee, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav (RJD), is contesting from the Raghopur constituency in Vaishali district. He is contesting against NDA candidate Satish Kumar (BJP) and Chanchal Kumar (Jan Suraaj).
Earlier today, Tejashwi Yadav criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his "katta" statement, stating that he doesn't speak negatively like the Prime Minister.
Yadav said that whenever the PM goes to Gujarat, he talks about factories, but during his Bihar visit, he talks about guns. The RJD leader stressed that he has never seen such a "low-level" language from a Prime Minister.
"Jiski jaisi soch hai, jiski jaisi bhavna hai. We do not think like this. We don't speak negatively. I don't know why PM loves such words. When he goes to Gujarat, he speaks about installing factories. But when he comes to Bihar, he speaks about guns. We had never seen such low-level language used by a PM. What language is he using? He should say something useful, he should share his vision and list out his works. What is he even saying?," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.
Earlier today Tejashwi Yadav didn't express surprise over Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's absence from PM Narendra Modi's road show in Patna, stating that it is evident as the BJP has no plans of making JD(U) supremo Chief Minister again.
"What's surprising about this? Everyone knows that the BJP will not make Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.
PM Modi on Sunday attacked the opposition, speaking of a rift between the Mahagathbandhan allies. The PM said that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) had stolen the Chief Minister's post from the Congress party, and the Mahagathbandhan was "forced" to announce Tejashwi Yadav as their CM face amid pressure.
Meanwhile, on October 30, citing the misgovernance of the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress party in Bihar, PM Modi described their rule in five words, stating "Katta, Kroorta, Katuta, Kushasan and Corruption."
Explaining the meaning, the Prime Minister said the word "katta" refers to a place where cruelty prevails and law and order break down.
"RJD-Congress can be identified by five things. What have the RJD-Congress done? I will tell you about these five words- Katta, Kroorta, Katuta, Kushasan, and Corruption... Where there is 'katta', where cruelty reigns, there the law breaks down," he said.
The Bihar assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14. (ANI)
