In this special report, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav discusses his political strategy for the Bihar elections, positioning it as a final chance to save the state from corruption, crime, and unemployment under the 20-year rule of the BJP-JDU alliance. 'Look, this is an election to make Bihar,' Yadav states, framing his campaign around development and justice. He counters the BJP's 'Jungle Raj' allegations by highlighting his father Lalu Prasad Yadav's contributions to social justice and the Railways. Yadav also defends his own 17-month tenure as Deputy Chief Minister, claiming credit for creating 5 lakh jobs and improving the health sector. He challenges the current government's record on law and order, referencing the latest NCRB data which places Bihar high in national crime statistics, and points to recent political violence in Mokama. The interview also delves into the politics of dynasty, with Yadav deflecting criticism by pointing to figures like Chirag Paswan and Samrat Choudhary within the NDA.
