Tejashwi Yadav.

Tejaswi Yadav, former Bihar deputy chief minister and son of Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad, on Thursday, said his 18-month-long tenure as the Bihar deputy CM was marked by efforts to reduce corruption. He alleged that investigative agencies set upon his family to give chief minister Nitish Kumar an excuse to commit “treachery”.

Speaking at a programme in Patna, on Thursday, Tejaswi claimed that as the minister in charge of a department that handled money-spinning matters, he introduced measures for ministerial interference. However, all of his actions were resented by his cabinet colleagues belonging to Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United), RJD’s coalition partner at that time.

On Kumar blaming his exit from the Bihar Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) on corruption cases against Yadav, the former deputy CM said, “He is paying the price for his principles which he has refused to compromise on at any cost. There is no point in imitating him. … He had made up his mind to ditch us, after having won election in alliance with our party.”
