Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Wednesday said the BJP is scared as it is aware that Opposition unity would wipe it out in the 2024 parliamentary polls from Bihar.
Speaking in favour of the trust vote of the RJD-JD(U)-led grand alliance government, Tejashwi hit out at the central government for using federal agencies to harass political rivals.
“When the BJP fears or loses in the state, it puts ahead its three 'jamai' – CBI, ED and IT... When I go to foreign countries, the BJP issues lookout notices against me and when fraudsters like Nirav Modi run away, they don't do anything.”
Yadav also refuted media reports that the CBI raid at a mall at Gurugram earlier in the day belonged to him. "I am surprised that some media reports are suggesting that the mall where a CBI has raided today in Gurugram belongs to me. I got the papers of the company and found that the company is based in Haryana. What is more interesting is that the mall's construction was started in the presence of a BJP leader," Yadav said during his address in the House.
He further said that the new team is like a group of cricketers and this pair (RJD and JDU) is going to have “a never-ending partnership”.

"Our alliance will be a long lasting one and play a long innings. We have come together to save democracy, Constitution and secularism and would not allow divisive forces to pursue their agenda," he said.
In another attack on the saffron camp, Tejashwi said nobody can dare snatch the voting rights of minorities and the Grand Alliance government would take stringent action against people trying to engineer riots in Bihar. "We are keeping a close watch on everybody and anybody trying to create disturbance or breach of communal harmony would be strongly dealt with," he said.
