"JDU speaking same language as the RSS": RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 26 (ANI): Former Bihar Deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday criticized Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), alleging that they want to incite riots and divide communities.
He emphasized the need to focus on key issues like education, agriculture, poverty, and unemployment.
"The JDU is speaking the same language as the RSS... Those who want riots, want to break the country, and those who are anti-constitution and anti-reservation, want conflict between two communities. We want to talk about the issues... Education, agriculture, poverty and unemployment should be discussed... But the BJP only wants to discuss mandir-masjid, Hindu-Muslim, Pakistan and Kashmir," the RJD leader said.
The former CM questioned Union Textile Minister Giriraj Singh, about Bihar not receiving a textile park and accused him of trying to spark conflict.
"Giriraj Singh is the Textile Minister, he should answer why Bihar did not get a textile park... Now he has come here to make people fight. The people will not stay quiet," he said.
The RJD leader also accused the leaders of JD(U) of making baseless statements. Criticising the hooch tragedies in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav alleged that the government is not taking action against the renowned people because they are protecting the mafias.
"The leaders of JD(U) are experts in making baseless statements...After the liquor ban, people are dying by consuming illicit liquor. Not a single word of condolence has been spoken by the Chief Minister and JDU leaders for the families who lost their loved ones due to the consumption of illicit liquor. The government is not taking action against the renowned people because they are protecting the mafias... The Chief Minister is not able to rule Bihar. The law and order of Bihar has collapsed," he said.
Speaking on the Jharkhand Assembly election, the RJD leader said that the public is not happy with the BJP and expressed confidence that the INDIA bloc will form the government in the state.
"We will form the government in Jharkhand and win the bye-elections also. The public of Jharkhand is standing in favour of the Mahagathbandhan and INDIA alliance...The public is not happy with the BJP...The Hemant Soren-led government has introduced a lot of schemes for the public of Jharkhand. I am confident that we will be forming the government in Jharkhand...BJP does horse trading wherever it is not able to form a government," he said.
Elections are being held on 81 seats of the Jharkhand assembly in two phases on November 13 and November 20. (ANI)
