Patna (Bihar) [India], May 21 (ANI): Amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in the country, the electoral battle in Bihar is getting fiercer.
Reacting to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's "open challenge" to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said whoever wants to resign can do so before the 2025 Bihar assembly election he said, adding that he will get advertisements printed and send them to their home.
"Keep this in writing. Whoever wants to resign can do so. Before 2025, we will get advertisements printed and send them to their home," said Samrat Choudhary in a brief interaction with reporters at Patna Airport on Tuesday.
Choudhary's reaction came to Tejashwi Yadav's remark as he, while addressing media claimed that he has given more jobs to the people than PM Modi.
"Public is giving you opportunities; if you don't fulfil them, then people lose their expectations. We got an opportunity for 17 months we had given five lakh government jobs but PM, don't talk about that Tejashwi has given so many jobs. We openly challenge Prime Minister Modi that if he has given more jobs than Tejashwi in 10 years, then we will retire from politics," said Tejashwi.
On Monday, PM Modi held a roadshow in Bihar's Patna in the run-up to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Visuals of the roadshow showed people standing in long lines on either side of the road cheering and waving at the Prime Minister's convoy.
PM Modi also visited former deputy chief minister of Bihar Sushil Kumar Modi's residence in Patna to pay tribute to the late BJP veteran and meet his family members.
Sushil Modi passed away at Delhi's All-India Institute of Medical Sciences on May 13 after battling cancer for seven months. He was 72.
The 40 seats in Bihar are undergoing polls in all seven phases. In 2019, BJP-led NDA swept the state by winning 39 out of 40 seats, while Congress won just one seat. RJD, a formidable force in the state, failed to open its account. (ANI)
