Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Mahagathbandhan’s chief ministerial candidate, Tejashwi Yadav, on Monday, a day ahead of the second phase of voting, made several claims and promises during a media interaction.
"After November 14, Bihar will be made the number one state in the country where there will be proper arrangements for food processing units, industries, education, healthcare, employment, and irrigation, along with super-specialty hospitals, Educational City, and IT hubs. No Bihari will need to go to another city," Yadav said.
Questions EC Over Gender-Wise Voter Turnout Data
