Energizing scenes unfolded at RJD headquarters in Patna on Saturday, where Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar’s combative Leader of Opposition, was feted grandly upon taking charge as national working president. His address was a masterclass in motivation: ‘We aren’t weak—the times are. Our era beckons.’
This milestone event post his elevation saw Tejashwi weave personal narrative with party strategy. From deputy CM youth record to familial rifts and courtroom battles, he framed resilience as RJD’s core. The 2020 poll dominance and 2025 insights fueled his pledge: grassroots strengthening from booths to apex, eyeing a Bihar comeback.
NDA’s democracy drew scathing rebuke. ‘People have fled loktantra, leaving only apparatus,’ he said, alleging fake cases, jailings, and threats—like to Sheikhpura ex-legislator. ‘It’s no democracy; it’s terror machinery. But RJD fears none,’ he roared.
Outlining post-Holi national tours for organizational muscle, Tejashwi stressed ideological depth and public connect. RJD’s justice legacy would draw in believers, he promised, amid plots to bury Constitution and opposition.
PM Modi’s quietude on Trump tariffs and farmer distress sans MSP irked him deeply. Defending Lalu, he claimed electoral sabotage via probes failed; Lalu lives in hearts, Bihar’s real helmsman, unlike Nitish’s officialdom ties.
Tejashwi beckoned masses to February 17’s Bapu Sabhaghar. Bihar lags under dual engines, he noted, shrugging off leg woes and ceaseless slurs. ‘They abuse Lalu and me relentlessly. Stay united—their time passes; ours dawns,’ he signed off triumphantly.
