In this India Today special report, the focus is on the escalating political battle in Bihar with Mahagathbandhan's Chief Ministerial face, Tejashwi Yadav, taking on CM Nitish Kumar and the BJP. Tejashwi Yadav makes a stunning claim that 'He [Nitish Kumar] is no longer running Bihar. He has been hijacked. Modi and Amit Shah are running Bihar from Delhi; Nitish Kumar has merely been made a puppet.' The RJD leader details his electoral promises, including the ambitious plan for one government job per household, arguing it is a well-researched pledge and not a 'jumla'. He counters the NDA's 'Jungle Raj' allegations by pointing to recent NCRB data and challenges the ruling coalition on its 20-year record on unemployment, migration, and law and order.
