"JDU will be finished in 2024": RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav

Patna (Bihar) [India], April 5 : Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday said that Janata Dal United (JDU) will be finished in 2024.
"We have already said that Janata Dal United (JDU) will be finished in 2024. There is no future." said former Deputy Chief Minister Telashwi Yadav.
Tejashwi Yadav said, "...Those raising slogans of '400 paar' the land of Bihar will teach them a lesson. I have said this earlier as well that Bihar will give a shocking result..."
Meanwhile, Vikassheel Insaan Party's national president Mukesh Sahni said that the party will not form any alliance with Bharatiya Janata Party.
"We had decided that we will not form an alliance with BJP, we stand by our decision...We would like reservation in the new government that will be formed under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi...Our party is contesting on three Lok Sabha seats, Gopalganj, Jhanjharpur and Motihari...We will fight strongly... Whenever we contest elections, the NDA suffers a big loss...This time too they will suffer losses..." said Mukesh Sahni.
Tejashwi Yadav said, "...RJD will be contesting from 26 seats and our party has decided that from our quota we will be giving 3 seats to Mukesh Sahni's party. The three seats- Gopalganj, Jhanjharpur & Motihari".
Vikassheel Insaan Party's Mukesh Sahni said, "...We are people who believe in the ideology of Lalu Prasad Yadav...BJP tried to poach our leaders & tried to finish our party..."
Earlier, Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding his first rally in Bihar. He questioned whether the PM would speak against nepotism in his election campaign in the state.
Yadav pointed out that the PM was supporting a dynastic candidate from his alliance, highlighting a significant difference between the PM's words and actions.
"PM Modi in his election campaigns always talks about dynastic politics. But, in his very first campaign in Bihar, he rallied for the candidate, who himself is a dynastic politician. This shows the difference between what he says and how he acts," he said.
Tejashwi Yadav, while speaking about the misuse of government agencies, alleged that when leaders join the BJP, cases against them by agencies like the ED and CBI are closed, and they are made ministers.
"It has been observed that as soon as leaders join the BJP, cases against them by agencies like the ED and CBI are closed. It's evident to everyone that cases against those who join the BJP are dismissed. Whether someone has been involved in a scam of Rs 70,000 crore or any other case, they are made ministers, and their cases are closed," he said.
While speaking about Congress leader Pappu Yadav's decision to file a nomination from Purnea, Tejashwi Yadav said, "We have our own party and our own alliance. I am going to Purnea for my own candidate, and I believe that Bima Bharti will win by a big margin."
Pappu Yadav has even urged RJD supremo Lalu Yadav to reconsider his decision regarding Purnia and give it to the Congress since the RJD announced that it would field former minister and Rupauli MLA Bima Bharati from the seat.
It is worth noting that the former MP Rajesh Ranjan, alias Pappu Yadav, who merged his Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) with the Congress, is adamant about contesting the Lok Sabha elections from the Purnia constituency, the seat given to the RJD as per the agreement reached by the alliance. His stand has put pressure on the Grand Alliance in Bihar.
The Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), the opposition coalition in Bihar, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Left parties, recently announced that the RJD, its largest constituent, will contest 26 out of the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats, including Purnia, in the upcoming elections.
Bihar will see polling in seven phases. The first phase of polling will be held on April 19, the second phase on April 26, the third phase on May 7, the fourth phase on May 13, the fifth phase on May 20, the sixth phase on May 25, and the seventh phase on June 1.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA, which included the BJP, JDU (Janata Dal-United), and LJP (Lok Janshakti Party), won 39 out of 40 seats. In contrast, the Mahagathbandhan, led by the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal), INC (Indian National Congress), and RLSP (Rashtriya Lok Samta Party), only managed to secure one seat.
The Lok Sabha Elections 2024 will be held in seven phases from April 19. Counting of votes on June 4.
