Patna: Functionaries of the ruling

on Thursday launched a scathing attack on
RJD
leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav after he promised to "transform Bihar in 20 months".
Speaking at an event in Bihta to mark the 75th death anniversary of Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, deputy CM Samrat Choudhary and water resources minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary ridiculed the outreach, suggesting the youth of Bihar still remember the state of governance under the 15-year tenure of RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his family.
Prashant Kishor, addressing the reporters in Ara, said, "Tejashwi thinks he will reach the seat of power by distributing pens.
While the educated youth of Bihar are roaming unemployed, a ninth fail wants to become the king of Bihar by distributing pens."
Kishor went on to question the RJD leader's track record. "His parents were chief ministers for 15 years. He himself was the deputy CM for three years. Yet less than 5% of children from Dalit, backward and Muslim communities are able to pass the 12th exams. Tejashwi should answer first," he said.

The BJP also dismissed Tejashwi's promises as hollow rhetoric. "The youth in Bihar are now intellectually awakened and can see through the sugar-coated traps of political deception crafted for elections by Tejashwi," said BJP state media head Danish Eqbal.
JD(U) spokesperson Manish Yadav echoed similar criticism, calling Tejashwi's talk on jobs and education "ridiculous." "When the leader of opposition addresses the youth, it is ironic. During the tenure of his parents, the appointment process itself was mired in corruption. Jobs were not given, they were auctioned," he alleged.
