Patna, Feb 23 || After attending the proceedings of the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav on Monday launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), accusing the government of pushing Bihar into prolonged poverty and misgovernance despite being in power for over two decades.
Tejashwi Yadav said that even after 21 years of NDA rule, Bihar continues to remain among the most backward states in the country.
He alleged that corruption has drained the state treasury to such an extent that the government may soon struggle to pay its employees' salaries.
“The NDA government has ruled Bihar for 21 years, and during this period, Bihar has become the poorest state in the country,” Tejashwi said.
He claimed that the state tops the charts in unemployment, migration, and poverty, while lagging in investment, per capita income, education, health, and sports.
