With just a few days left for the first phase of voting in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, the grand alliance has unveiled its manifesto. This announcement has prompted the ruling NDA to adopt an aggressive stance against the grand alliance. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also launched a significant attack on the grand alliance's chief ministerial candidate, Tejashwi Yadav.
Chief Minister Nitish remarked that certain individuals are misleading the youth with promises of government jobs and employment. He criticized them for failing to address youth issues during their 15-year tenure, focusing instead on plundering the state's treasury.
The JDU also targeted Tejashwi Yadav, suggesting that he has become isolated within both the party and his family. The party sarcastically noted that while Tejashwi once capitalized on Lalu Yadav's influence, even Lalu's images are now absent from his posters.

BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary commented that the grand alliance's manifesto is merely a bundle of promises. It fails to address the source of funds, budget allocations, and implementation plans. He emphasized the need to remind people of Lalu Yadav's chaotic rule.

Political heat rises over manifesto
The release of the grand alliance's manifesto has intensified political dynamics in Bihar. While Tejashwi Yadav positions job creation and employment as primary issues, Nitish Kumar and the BJP dismiss them as mere rhetoric. The crucial question is whom the electorate will trust.
