RJD has given only 2 things to Bihar, ‘jungle raj’, corruption: Modi in Gaya
The PM said that the Opposition alliance has no vision for the state.
Ending speculation, RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Friday said his son Tejashwi Yadav will lead the party in the next Bihar Assembly polls. He will also be the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s Chief Ministerial candidate.
“RJD will contest the 2020 Assembly polls under Tejashwi’s leadership. He will be our Chief Ministerial candidate,” Lalu Prasad told the media here.
He spoke after senior RJD leaders Abdul Bari Sidddiqui and Raghuvansh Prasad Singh reportedly said there was no clarity yet on the next Chief Ministerial candidate of the party.

Lalu Prasad also praised his younger son’s work. A former Deputy Chief Minister, Tejashwi Yadav, who turned 28 on November 9, is now Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly.
