The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) commemorated the martyrdom of socialist leader Jagdev Prasad at its Patna headquarters, where party leaders, including Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav, paid tribute to the late leader. The event saw a large gathering of leaders and supporters, particularly from the Kushwaha community, who arrived in significant numbers to honor Prasad's legacy.
In his address, Tejashwi Yadav took the opportunity to criticize Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, without naming him directly, accusing him of betraying the socialist cause and aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Tejashwi praised his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav, for standing firm against the BJP and RSS, highlighting that the RJD has always supported marginalized communities.
Tejashwi also emphasized unity between the Yadav and Kushwaha communities, calling for collective action to ensure the state's progress. He reiterated RJD's commitment to giving adequate political representation to the Kushwaha community in the upcoming elections.
In conclusion, Tejashwi demanded that Jagdev Prasad be awarded the Bharat Ratna for his contributions to society, as the RJD continues to position itself as the champion of social justice in Bihar.
