Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday (June 26, 2025) appealed to the youth of Bihar to give him 20 months to change the State, as they had given Chief Minister Nitish Kumar 20 years.
Opposition in Bihar raises questions over special revision of voters’ list
Addressing the ‘Chatra Yuva Sansad’ organised by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) at Patna’s Bapu Sabhagar, Mr. Yadav made a series of promises to young voters during his hour-long speech.
He announced that, if elected, his government would establish a Youth Commission, make forms for competitive examinations free of cost, provide home tutors to academically weaker students, and ensure free transportation to examination centres.
“You gave 20 years to Nitish Kumar, just give me 20 months. The work that was not done in 20 years, I will do it in 20 months,” Mr. Yadav said, addressing a sizeable gathering of student and youth representatives from across the State. He asserted that Bihar’s youth would soon change the politics of the State by dislodging the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.
