Tejashwi Yadav, the son of the National President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Lalu Prasad Yadav, is a member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly and also the leader of the opposition. The session of the Bihar Legislative Assembly was scheduled from 22nd to 26th July. Tejashwi Yadav did not attend the five-day session and the opposition without leadership did not do much other than walkouts on every issue. Despite being absent, Tejashwi Yadav continued to criticize the government from outside and even when he did come to Patna during the session, he remained elusive on the last two days. Now, a week after the session, Tejashwi Yadav is calling the media to put forth his views.
There is ongoing discussion in the assembly about Tejashwi Yadav’s strategy to avoid attacks on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in the house. Sources from the Rashtriya Janata Dal are indicating that they will focus on criticizing both the state and central governments on the issue of reservations. They will also comment on the decisions of the Patna High Court and the Supreme Court regarding reservations.
Overall, Tejashwi Yadav’s absence during the session and his subsequent media call a week later are seen as strategic moves by the opposition to keep the pressure on the government. The focus on reservations and criticism of the government’s handling of the issue is expected to be a major point of contention in the upcoming discussions.
22 से 26 जुलाई तक बिहार विधानमंडल का सत्र पहले से तय था जिसमें राष्ट्रीय जनता दल के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष लालू प्रसाद यादव के बेटे और विपक्ष के नेता तेजस्वी यादव भी शामिल थे। इस सत्र में उन्होंने गैरहाजिर रहकर विपक्ष की नेतृत्व विहीनता को दिखाया और बाहर सरकार को घेरने की कोशिश की। अब उन्होंने मीडिया को बुलाकर अपनी बात रखने की तैयारी की है, जिसमें वे आरक्षण और राज्य की राजनीति पर टिप्पणी करेंगे। इसके साथ ही पटना हाईकोर्ट और सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसलों पर भी उनकी टिप्पणी की जा सकती है।
