Bihar Bypolls: 'Experiment' in Gopalganj Successful, Says Tejashwi
News 18Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, whose RJD on Sunday retained Mokama assembly seat but failed to wrest from the BJP Gopalganj constituency, losing it by a whisker, asserted that the outcome marked a success of their “experiment”. Yadav, the veritable face of a resurgent RJD, was making an indirect reference to Gopalganj candidate Mohan Gupta, a Vaishya by caste whose choice served as yet another instance of the traditionally “M-Y” party seeking to push the envelope. The bypoll to Gopalganj, falling in the eponymous district to which Yadav belongs, was necessitated by the death of four-term BJP MLA Subhash Singh whose wife Kusum Devi retained the seat for the saffron party. “Fie upon you Asaduddin Owaisi ji for helping the BJP in Gopalganj by-poll,” tweeted Bihar Congress spokesperson Asit Tiwari.
