Tejashwi Yadav, alongside Congress leaders, emphasizes unity within the opposition alliance as they gear up for Bihar's assembly elections. Criticizing the NDA's governance, Yadav and allies plan future discussions, confident in their strategy to challenge the ruling coalition. The key focus remains on addressing state's socio-economic issues.

In a crucial strategy meeting for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav affirmed the opposition alliance's unified stance on Tuesday, ready to advance the state under united leadership. He announced a follow-up meeting set for April 17 in Patna with all alliance members.

Highlighting the need for political change, Yadav criticized the NDA's 20-year tenure, noting Bihar's status as the poorest state with the lowest per capita and farmers' income and the highest migration rate. During media interactions, Yadav stressed the alliance's commitment to addressing these issues, emphasizing a campaign grounded in substantive discussions rather than rhetoric.

Regarding the chief ministerial candidate, Yadav stated that the decision would be made collectively, predicting that the NDA would not form the government this time.
