"People of Raghopur have trusted me twice, I believe they will trust me again...": Tejashwi Yadav

Hajipur (Bihar) [India], October 15 (ANI): Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday expressed confidence in winning his seat from the Raghopur assembly constituency.
Speaking to reporters here, he reiterated his party's commitment to addressing unemployment and eliminating corruption in the state.
Tejashwi highlighted the growing public dissatisfaction with the current regime and asserted that the Mahagathbandhan alliance is poised to secure victory in the upcoming state elections.
"The people of Raghopur have trusted me twice and I believe this time as well they will trust me... You all know our party's aim to remove unemployment from the state and build Bihar again.... The people of the state are tired of the corruption here and want new beginnings...Our Mahagathbandhan is contesting on 243 seats and I am sure this time there will be a change of government in the state...."

Earlier in the day, Tejashwi filed his nomination papers from Raghopur constituency in the presence of his parents and former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi.
Meanwhile, RJD leader Mritunjay Tiwari expressed confidence that the alliance would register a winning performance with Tejashwi at the helm. Speaking to ANI, Tiwari said that the people of Bihar want a Tejashwi Yadav-led government.
"Everything is fine in the Mahagathbandhan; there are no ifs or buts, no conflicts. The Mahagathbandhan is united and is fighting the elections strongly. With immense public support and the blessings of the people, a Tejashwi government is going to be formed in Bihar," he said.
Tiwari also took a dig at the ruling NDA government, asserting, "This is the farewell of the NDA. Upendra Kushwaha has also said that something is not right somewhere, Jitan Ram Manjhi is upset, and Nitish Kumar is upset. NDA now stands for 'Naiya Doobegi Abki Baar'....Now, Bihar wants a Tejashwi government."
The Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with vote counting scheduled for November 14. The 243-seat contest will determine the future political leadership of the state. (ANI)
