Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar, Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday once again targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over his age and health, while reminding voters of welfare schemes promised by the Opposition mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) for extremely backward classes (EBCs) in the election-bound State.

“Nitish Kumar is no longer fit to run Bihar. He has grown old. Bihar needs to develop at a fast pace. We have to build a new Bihar,” Mr. Yadav said in a clarion call at the Karpoori Ati Pichhda Adhikar Samvad (Karpoori Extremely Backward Rights Dialogue), held at the Veterinary College ground in Patna. According to the 2022 Bihar caste survey, the EBC population stands at 36.01%, the highest among all caste groups and communities in the State.
