Patna (Bihar) [India], November 9: Tejashwi Yadav, the grand alliance’s Chief Ministerial candidate, expressed full confidence in the victory of his alliance on Sunday, saying that there is a new mandate for change among the people of Bihar. As the second phase of election campaigns was nearing completion, Yadav was happy with the environment in the state: “good,” was the way he described it, and the opposition would again find favour with the voters on November 11.
Tejashwi Yadav Confident of Victory
Speaking to reporters, Yadav said: “Today is the last day of the election campaign. The environment is very good. The people of Bihar have voted for change, and they will do the same on 11th November. Whether it is the Prime Minister or any other minister, no one is talking about the reservation we gave during our government for 17 months. The Prime Minister has eaten up the 65% reservation of the people. They should talk about what they gave to Bihar and Gujarat,” Then, he took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for remaining “silent” about reservation issues, while also accusing the BJP-led government of not doing enough for the development needs of Bihar.
Tejashwi’s Birthday Celebration Outside His Residence
Meanwhile, supporters of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) were celebrating Tejashwi Yadav’s birthday outside his house in Patna. Supporters were seen dancing, singing songs, and waving placards proclaiming that “Tejashwi Yadav was CM of Bihar”. The party was having a party celebration ahead of the next and very important leg of polling.

कब, कैसे, क्यों किसके इशारे पर इन पर्चियों को फेंका गया? क्या चोर आयोग इसका जवाब देगा? क्या यह सब बाहर से आकर बिहार में डेरा डाले लोकतंत्र के… pic.twitter.com/SxOR6dd7Me
