Tejashwi's controversial 'rath' bus gobbles up citizens in latest RJD-JD(U) poster fight

The poster war between the two principal parties of Bihar continued as the Janata Dal (United) JDU released another poster mocking Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav for allegedly registering the bus for his Berozgari 'rath' yatra in the name of a Below Poverty Line (BPL) cardholder. JDU member and Bihar’s cabinet minister Neeraj Kumar slammed RJD for registering the bus in the name of a Mangal Pal. He said that RJD has fooled a person belonging to the economically backward class.  

Neeraj Kumar on Tejashwi Yadav 

Seeking answers from the RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Neeraj Kumar said that “It has been 48 hours, but we have got no response from RJD”. He further said that the expression of anguish in the poster should be appreciated. “A person who is below the poverty line, who has a ration card, such has been fooled. An economical fraud has been committed in his name,” Neeraj Kumar added. 

Furthermore, Neeraj Kumar asked a question of the RJD, asking them the source of the money which was used to procure the bus and subsequently registering it in the name of BPL cardholder Mangal Pal.

RJD prepares for assembly elections 

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has already started preparations for this year's assembly elections in Bihar. The party has made unemployment a big issue, with the ‘Berozgari Hatao’ (Remove unemployment) Yatra set to begin from 23 February to corner the Bihar government on the issue of unemployment. The Yatra will start at Bihar Veterinary College Ground in Patna following which it will be held in every district of the state. However, the ownership of the bus has thrown it into controversy, with Tejashwi earlier refuting document-based claims on its ownership by saying that even Sunny Leone had topped a Bihar exam 'on paper'.
