Strategic Insights -

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, chief ministerial candidate of the INDIA bloc, has claimed that the BJP is "scared" after the Opposition alliance named an Extremely Backward Class (EBC) leader as its deputy chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. Yadav addressed reporters in Patna, stating that the BJP's "hatred" towards the EBC community has become evident after the coalition announced Vikashsheel Insaan Party (VIP) founder Mukesh Sahani as its deputy CM face.
