Tejashwi Yadav calls CM 'unconscious'
Political tensions escalate in Bihar Assembly
"You (RJD leaders) are from the party in which a husband made his wife the CM. They (RJD) have made you (women MLAs of RJD) the MLA, but have you done any work for the women? How much work have we done for the women? Do you people (RJD) understand that? You people are in the party which has done nothing for women," Nitish Kumar said in the Bihar Assembly.
In 1997, Lalu Prasad Yadav made his wife the Chief Minister when he was forced to resign as the CM after an arrest warrant was issued against him in a fodder scam case.
Earlier today, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav accused Nitish Kumar of being in an "unconscious state" and said that unless this government remains, "you will not get your right."
"I assure those who are protesting that we will raise your issues in the House. The government...the CM is 'unconscious'. He will not be able to name his departments. This is the truth. The only solution is to change the government. You will not get your rights till the time this government remains. What hopes could we have from someone unconscious?" Yadav, Leader of Opposition (LoP) Bihar Legislative Assembly, said.
Yadav has been targeting the CM over various issues over the past few days. On Thursday, he said that the youth of Bihar no longer want a "75-year-old CM."
