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.

In his first reaction after Nitish Kumar's resignation on Sunday, Tejashwi Yadav said the game in Bihar is still on.

"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.

Tejashwi said the mahagathbandhan which came to power in 2022 was formed with many hopes but Nitish Kumar murdered them. "We don't want to dwell in the past. We are looking at the road ahead. The public is with us and the game is not yet over in Bihar," Tejashwi said.
