Tejashwi Yadav unveils new poster to attack government over Covid-19 crisis in Bihar

PATNA: RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Monday accused the state government of slackness in handling the Covid crisis in Bihar. He also unveiled a poster outside RJD office with a tag line, ‘Puch raha saga Bihar, kahan hai Nitish Kumar’. Tejashwi said his party would beat drums all over the state if CM did not come out within 10 days. Earlier also, he had put a poster questioning a controversial letter issued by Bihar police headquarters related to migrants.
“He is the first CM who has not come out in public for 90 days. Today it will be 91 days. This government is not concerned about coronavirus spread; rather it is doing caste calculation for the upcoming election. If the CM does not appear in public in the next 10 days, RJD will beat drums across the state to wake him up. Should he not go and see the condition of Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) and Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) at least,” Tejashwi asked.
Nitish had countered Tejashwi’s allegations during a virtual JD(U) workers’ meet last week by saying even people in RJD at times didn’t know about the whereabouts of their leader.
“Many people keep issuing baseless statements every day. He says I have not gone out. What is this? Lockdown is enforced across the country. And we are doing our work, reviewing everything every day. We are interacting with officials across the state every day. Nevertheless, there is no clue where he (Tejashwi) runs away; not even people in his own party know about his whereabouts and he is questioning us,” Nitish had said on Tuesday.
Tejashwi raised questions on the number of Covid-19 tests being done and availability of ventilators in Bihar.
