RJD's sole model involves giving land while taking jobs: BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad ahead of Bihar polls

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 26 (ANI): BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday alleged that the RJD had no roadmap to fight the upcoming elections and relied on the only model they knew, that of giving land and taking jobs.
Speaking to reporters, the BJP MP stated that the people of Bihar will not be deceived.
"Their (RJD) desperation is evident. They first said that they would give government jobs to everyone in their homes... They said that we will make one crore 26 lakh Jivika Didi permanent. People of Bihar, do not fall for this deception. Their only model is give land and take jobs... They have no roadmap..." said the BJP MP .
Meanwhile, Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal accused Congress and RJD leaders of indulging in "Jumlebaazi" ahead of the Assembly elections.
"INDIA bloc leaders, Congress and RJD leaders have started doing 'Jumlebaazi'. They don't think of anyone when they are in power, and now, when the elections are just 10 days away, they have started all this drama. They are certain of their defeat," Yadav said while addressing reporters in Patna.
Earlier today in a press conference, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav announced that the honorarium and allowances of panchayat and village court representatives will be doubled after the Mahagathbandhan forms a government in Bihar.
"The honorarium and allowances of the three-tier panchayat representatives and village court representatives (gram kachari pratinidhi) will be doubled when our government comes to power. A pension scheme will be started for former panchayat and village court representatives. Three-tier panchayat and village court representatives will be provided with insurance coverage up to 50 lakh rupees," the RJD leader said.
He also announced that a lump sum of Rs 5 lakh for five years will be provided interest-free to people from marginalised communities, engaged in caste-based professions, to assist them financially.
"A lump sum of Rs 5 lakh, which will be interest-free, will be provided to the hardworking people of communities, including Nai, Kumhar, Badai and Lohar, for five years to assist them financially. From this, they would be able to buy modern tools to sustain their (self-) employment," Tejashwi said.
Mahagathbandhan declared Tejashwi Yadav as the CM face for the Bihar assembly polls, while also naming Mukesh Sahani of Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) as Deputy CM candidate.
