Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on Thursday passed a resolution declaring its party chief, Vijay, as the Chief Ministerial candidate and inviting parties willing to support his leadership to join an alliance for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
Speaking to ANI, Rabri Devi said, "The public of Bihar has made up their mind to make Tejashwi Yadav the Chief Minister of Bihar. He is a youth and a new leader. Tejashwi Yadav fulfils what he says."
Drawing parallels between Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, Sahani said the Mahayuti contested the Maharashtra elections under Shinde's leadership; however, after the results, the BJP left him out.
Ahead of the Bihar elections, Congress leader Pawan Khera has slammed the NDA for not announcing the name of the state's Chief Minister candidate on Sunday.
RJD leader and Mahagathbandhan CM candidate Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday sharply criticised the state government, calling Bihar the poorest in India with the lowest per capita income.
While making the announcement, Ashok Gehlot described Tejashwi Yadav as a young person, highlighting his promising future and affirming the people of Bihar's support for him.
This comes after he was asked about the possibility of Congress nominating a Deputy CM candidate from its ranks. Khera also asked about the CM face of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), questioning why they did not hold a joint press conference like the Mahagathbandhan did.
Gehlot said that people of Bihar want change as they struggle with multiple issues, including unemployment. He alleged that the way the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the Centre is operating is a "threat to democracy".
Choudhary stated that the people of Bihar know that Lalu Prasad Yadav wouldn't hand over the reins of the state to anyone other than his family members.
Earlier today, Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot declared Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Ministerial candidate for the assembly elections in Bihar, scheduled to be held in two phases on November 6 and 11.
BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday slammed Mahagathbandhan's CM candidate Tejashwi Yadav, questioning his credibility over his father Lalu Prasad's 32.5-year sentence in fodder scam cases and Tejashwi's own charges under IPC Section 420.
