· India · Times of India, Telegraph India
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav targeted the BJP and RSS amid an ongoing dispute between NDA allies Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi over the sub-categorisation of SC/ST reservations. Tejashwi accused the two Union ministers of acting on RSS instructions to gauge reservation sentiments while allegedly benefiting from quotas themselves. He challenged both Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi to resign and contest elections from unreserved seats to test their stance on reservation. Additionally, Tejashwi questioned the position of other Bihar NDA allies on the 65% reservation quota introduced during his party's tenure.
