Former Bihar Deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has been announced as the Chief Ministerial candidate for the Mahagathbandhan ahead of the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. VIP chief Mukesh Sahani has been announced as the Deputy CM face. Congress observer for Bihar elections, Ashok Gehlot made the announcement on Thursday, October 23, while addressing a press conference in Patna.
"... We want to ask Amit Shah ji and the president of their party who is the CM face of your alliance? This is our demand because we saw that the election was fought under the leadership of the then CM Eknath Shinde, but later we found out that someone else was chosen as the Chief Minister," said Gehlot.
Addressing the press meet, Tejashwi Yadav said that the Mahagathbandhan's aim is to not just form the government but to rebuild Bihar. The CM candidate also slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah for not declaring Nitish Kumar as the NDA's CM candidate.
