'Game not over yet': Tejashwi Yadav puts up a brave face after Nitish Kumar's exit

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday reiterated that the game is still on in Bihar after Nitish Kumar walked out of the Mahagathbandhan and is now all set to take the oath as the chief minister of the JD(U)-BJP government.

"I only have good wishes for the BJP. I also thank BJP for taking Nitish Kumar's party along with them. Let them take oath today. The game is not over in Bihar," Tejashwi said in his first reaction after Nitish Kumar dumped the RJD.

Calling Nitish Kumar a ‘tired CM’, Tejashwi said, "Nitish Kumar was tired. RJD made him do all the work that the government did. I want to stay away from making any personal comments. But Nitish Kumar does not even know what he is saying. Mark my word that JD(U) will be finished by 2024. Whatever they do, the public is with us. I want to thank the BJP for taking along the JD(U)," Tejashwi said.

"Nitish Kumar used to say creating employment opportunities was impossible. But after we formed the government, it became a reality. In the 17 months, we have done record-breaking work in the departments that were with RJD. Why should not we take credit for the jobs that we gave," Tejashwi said.
