‘Wait and see’: Tejashwi hints at INDIA bloc weighing options to form govt
Hindustan TimesRashtriya Janata Dal leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday said the ‘Modi factor’ had got eroded in the just concluded Lok Sabha polls with the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party failing to get the majority mark by a big margin and indicated that the opposition INDIA bloc was weighing all options of forming the government at the Centre. Earlier in Patna, Yadav, whose RJD won only four seats in the Lok Sabha polls, said his party had gained maximum vote share over around 22.14 % and also improved its tally by gaining four seats as against zero number of MPs in the 2019 polls. “We have gained four seats unlike in 2019 Lok Sabha polls when we did not win a single seat,” Yadav said, implying that RJD –Congress-Left alliance had done well in the Lok Sabha polls in which he had spearheaded the INDIA bloc campaign in the state. Yadav also said the INDIA bloc’s performance across the country was “very good”.
