In a significant political strategy for the upcoming Bihar elections, Tejashwi Yadav, the INDIA bloc's chief ministerial contender, has stirred controversy by nominating an Extremely Backwards Classes (EBC) leader as the opposition coalition's deputy CM face. The decision spotlights BJP's alleged apprehension, as claimed by Yadav.

Mukesh Sahani, founder of the Vikashsheel Insaan Party and a prominent EBC figure, was named as the deputy CM candidate, raising BJP's ire according to Yadav. He asserts the move reveals BJP's revealed aversion towards the EBC community while questioning their commitment to inclusion.

Addressing the media in Patna, Yadav accused BJP leaders of hypocrisy, criticizing their past treatment of religious minorities while now questioning the lack of a Muslim nominee. He also condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not delivering on promises made to Bihar, likening it to favoritism towards Gujarat.
