The photo’s timing is significant, as it surfaced amidst heightened political temperatures following statements made by RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav about Nitish Kumar earlier in the day.
What Did Lalu Prasad Yadav Say About Nitish Kumar?
Recently, Lalu Yadav remarked that his doors are open for Nitish Kumar and that Nitish, too, should keep his options open. “If Nitish wants to join us, why won’t we welcome him?” he said, fueling speculation about a potential political realignment in Bihar.
Tejashwi Yadav’s Statement Adds to Speculation
Hours before the photo emerged, Tejashwi Yadav commented on his father’s statement, downplaying its significance. “The statement was only to calm the media; it should not be taken seriously,” Tejashwi said. However, his remarks have sparked a new round of debate, with many questioning if everything is fine within the RJD.
