If you want jobs, elect us: Tejashwi to voters

Top INDIA bloc leaders, including RJD leader and opposition grouping’s chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, on Monday held multiple poll rallies in Bihar and intensified their attack on the ruling NDA, a day before the campaigning for the first phase of the Bihar assembly polls ends.

Yadav, who continued his marathon campaigning, addressing around 15 rallies across Bhojpur, Ara, Saran, and Patna in the day, appealed to voters to support Grand Alliance candidates, reiterating his promise to provide a government job to each family.

“If you want jobs, elect us,” Yadav repeated at his rallies, most of which were 5-10 minutes stop overs. At the Majhaua Airport Ground in Ara, the RJD leader alleged that corruption has peaked under the chief minister Nitish Kumar's nearly 20-year regime.

“Go to any office today and you won't find work without paying. Today, Bihar has become known as the state of migration. Youth are crammed like goats into trains to other states for employment. The situation with education and health is the same. Farmers in Bihar are not getting fair prices for their crops,” he said to a loud cheer from the crowd.
