Patna (Bihar) [India], October 9 : Emphasing on the value of his words and promise, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday said that, "I may be young, but my word is firm" (umr kacchi hai, par zubaan pakki hai).
Following his announcement of making a law ensuring government jobs for every Bihar household, state leader of opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, stated that he doesn't need to give any proof to implement his announcement, stating that "umr kacchi hai, par zubaan pakki hai."
He asserted that the Mahagathbandhan government aims to achieve economic justice alongside social justice, noting that within 20 months, no family in Bihar will be without a government job.
"We have made a historic announcement today. We want to do economic justice, besides social justice, to the people. Today, we have announced that whichever family in Bihar does not have a govt job will be given a govt job within 20 days of the formation of our Govt. In 20 months, there will be no family that will not have a govt job...When every family in Bihar has a govt job, everyone will run the Bihar Govt besides Tejashwi...Tejashwi ki umr kacchi hai, par zubaan pakki hai. So, we do not need to give proof. People of Bihar know that Tejashwi will do what he says," Yadav told ANI.
Tejashwi Yadav's announcement follows his statement that within 20 days of the formation of the Mahagathbandhan government, it will enact a law ensuring a government job for every household in Bihar.
The Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly announced that within 20 months, no family in Bihar will be left without a government job.
The RJD leader said that he has the vision and willpower to implement the announcement. He highlighted that his party has done extensive research and survey to implement the plan.
"Had this not been possible, Tejashwi would not have said it. All that is needed is willpower; we have that. We have vision...I think we don't need to give proof. We have made it clear that Tejashwi makes no announcement without studying it, without scientific research," he said.
The RJD also slammed the current Bihar regime, calling it a "copycat government".
"This is a copycat government (NDA Govt in Bihar) and copies us. We had announced Mai Bahin Maan Yojana earlier; they copied it. They are attempting to buy votes," he said.
Earlier, the RJD leader stated that his party has conducted a survey related to the issue, emphasising that it is not a case of "jumlebaazi" (making fake promises). Yadav emphasised that he doesn't need to give proof to fulfil his promise.
"We have done studies this scientifically, and we have data of all such families on the basis of our survey. If we are making this announcement, it is my pledge that we are doing only what is possible. This is not 'jumlebaazi', we are not cheating anyone. Tejashwi does not need to give proof," he said.
