Funny poster of Tejashwi, CM Nitish grab eyeballs in Patna

A poster was put up in Patna, showing RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav sitting atop a galloping horse, ahead of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar perched on the back of a languid tortoise.

PATNA:

"Tejashwi government is coming. Things would move at the same speed that was seen during the 17-month period," the poster declares in bold letters. The "17-month" period alludes to the regime of the Mahagathbandhan, during which the RJD leader was the deputy CM.

Found just a few metres away from Kumar's residence, the poster thus projects the challenge that the Opposition party's leader is throwing at the JD(U) supremo in the Bihar assembly polls due later this year.

Yadav has also been keen to cash in on his "performance" as the deputy chief minister under Kumar in the Mahagathbandhan government, until the JD(U) decided a year ago that the party was better off as a BJP ally.

The JD(U) dumped the BJP and joined the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan in 2022, but went back to the NDA in 2024.

The poster has been put up by an RJD worker, at a place also close to 10, Circular Road, the bungalow allotted to Yadav's mother Rabri Devi, a former chief minister.
