Patna, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday said Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should raise with the Narendra Modi government at the Center the demands of special status for the state, nationwide caste census and more quota for deprived castes.
The former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, who spoke to reporters on his return from Delhi late in the evening, claimed that the state is playing a "decisive role" and Modi, who has returned as Prime Minister for the third consecutive time, is at his "weakest". . ,
"The opposition in the current Lok Sabha is strong and Bihar is playing a decisive role. Modi, who has been promising special status to the state for a long time, has recently stopped speaking about it," Yadav alleged. "
“Nitish ji should take advantage of his position and push for demands like special status and nationwide caste census.When we were sharing power, the quota for SC, ST and OBC was increased. The law should be put in the Ninth Schedule, so that it can withstand judicial scrutiny. The fire is also hanging,” he said.
Notably, the JD(U), led by the Chief Minister of Bihar, won 12 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, becoming the second largest ally of the BJP, falling short of the majority.
The RJD leader also said that the allocation of portfolios in the new Union Council of Ministers shows that the people of Bihar have been given work without thinking.He also highlighted the final chargesheet filed by the ED in the land-for-jobs scam, saying, "Multiple chargesheets have been filed against us in the same case. The government should keep in mind that times have changed." If the agencies do not improve their attitude, Parliament will be brought down.
Yadav was also asked about the electoral performance of his own party, which got only four seats despite the highest vote percentage.
“Look at our performance in the last Lok Sabha elections (when RJD did not get a single seat), after which we emerged as the largest party in the state assembly,” he said.Our seats in the Lok Sabha have improved four times. Its impact will also be visible in the assembly elections,” the RJD leader claimed.
