IS TEJASHWI A NINTH-FAIL OR SIMPLY ILLITERATE?

After spending time in the company of Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav too has started making absurd and baseless statements. He now goes around saying anything, anywhere — often without logic or meaning — and ends up becoming an object of ridicule.

In one such instance today, while addressing a press conference, Tejashwi made a statement purely aimed at grabbing power. He announced that if his party comes to power, within twenty days his government would pass a law guaranteeing one government job to at least one person in every family in Bihar — and that this promise would be fulfilled within twenty months.

Did he even think before speaking? Or did he just blurt out whatever came to mind, assuming that people would simply believe him?

I immediately did some arithmetic and realised that only a person completely intoxicated or mentally unsound could make such a claim.
