No assistance by BJP-Nitish government: Tej Pratap

Ahead of the forthcoming assembly elections, Former Bihar Environment Minister Tej Pratap Yadav on Thursday raised the issue of flooding in several areas in the Vaishali district of the state, saying that the Nitish Kumar-led double-engine government failed to provide assistance.

The expelled Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader also took a subtle dig at his younger brother, Tejashwi Yadav, who is the leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly as he visited the latter's constituency to take stock of the situation.

"Various panchayats under Vidupur block in Raghopur assembly constituency of Vaishali district have been fully affected by floods. Most panchayats and villages in this assembly constituency have been submerged due to floods, but no assistance of any kind is being provided by the BJP Nitish government, nor by the MP and MLA of this area," Yadav, who recently launched Janshakti Janata Dal, posted on X.

"When the local people of the Raghopur area informed me about their problems, I could not hold back, and I met the flood-affected families and provided them with relief materials and medical assistance," he added.
