Bihar polls: BJP takes a jibe on Tejashwi Yadav; says 'will help ex-CMs sons pass exams'

While responding to Tejashwi Yadav's allegations that Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has destroyed the education and health sector of the state, president of Bihar BJP Sanjay Jaiswal took a jibe at Lalu Prasad's family and said, 'if voted to power, will help the sons of two former CMs (Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi) help pass class 10 exams.' While slamming the Opposition, Jaiswal said that in the last 15 years Nitish Kumar has worked hard to uplift the state's education sector. 'But the 2 CMs couldn't motivate their sons to pass class 10 exams,' he added.

Tejashwi Yadav said, "Nitish Kumar has never focussed on health, education, earnings and irrigation. He never heard the grievances. Just because of these issues, people migrate to other states but my government will focus on Education, health, earnings, irrigation and will act on grievances."

Jaiswal further said that once elected to power again, Nitish Kumar-led government will definitely help those from RJD who couldn't pass their class 10th exam clear the exam next time.
