News India Live, Digital Desk: Tejashwi Yadav Claims: Political mercury is rising rapidly in Bihar politics. Rashtriya Janata Dal RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has made a big claim about the internal tussle of the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP. He said that the BJP is deception of its current Deputy Chief Ministers Emperor Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha, as their real plan is to make Mangal Pandey the Chief Minister. Tejasvi Yadav made a sensational allegation while addressing a press conference in Patna. He said that Emperor Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha, who are currently the Deputy Chief Ministers in the Government of Bihar, are confused that they are strong contenders for the post of Chief Minister, while the reality is something else. According to Tejashwi, the central leadership of the BJP has fixed the name of Mangal Pandey for the next Chief Minister of the state and he is just waiting for the right time. Mangal Pandey is a senior BJP leader in Bihar and has been a Health Minister in the previous Nitish Kumar government. This statement of Tejasvi can potentially create discord in the NDA NDA alliance of Bihar, especially within the BJP, where there have always been ambitions for the post of Chief Minister. This claim of Tejashwi Yadav can also be part of the opposition’s strategy, aimed at creating a rift in the ruling coalition and creating confusion. This statement can pierce an internal debate for the BJP in view of the Bihar assembly elections, where both Emperor Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha have seen themselves as the contender for the post of Chief Minister. It will now be seen what the top BJP leaders react to this claim and how this charge affects Bihar’s coalition politics.
