Tejashwi rejected the speculations that RJD wants to remove Nitish Kumar from the post.

Patna:

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav asserted on Wednesday that he was in no hurry to replace Nitish Kumar as the chief minister of the state.

Along with this, Tejashwi rejected the speculations that his party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) wants to remove Nitish Kumar from the post.

Tejashwi dismissed questions from reporters whether he felt "duped" by the claims of some top JD(U) leaders that Nitish Kumar would complete his term in 2025 and 2030. He is "capable" of leading the grand alliance.

The RJD leader said, "What wrong has he said.

The reality is that he (Nitish) is very capable.

The longer he stays, the richer his experience will be.

I am in no hurry.

This statement of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's younger son Tejashwi is going to provide relief for JD(U).

Recently JD(U)'s parliamentary board chairman Upendra Kushwaha quit the party alleging that a "deal" had been struck with the ally.

Apart from this, some RJD MLAs have also claimed that Yadav will take over (as chief minister) after Holi in March.

Yadav said he is focused on ensuring the defeat of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in next year's general election and ensuring that "they do not win a single seat" out of the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats. Can.

Tejashwi did not show seriousness on the statement of former state Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, in which he had said that his son and Minister Santosh Suman from the Hindustani Awam Morcha's quota in the state government could also be considered for the top post.

Tejashwi said, 'Is it a sin to have a wish about your son?

Don't you guys want your son to go ahead of you too?
