Tejashwi Yadav takes a dig at Bihar CM: 'Your statements are different from your actions'

Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday reacted to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's statement over NRC and stated that his statements are always different from his actions. Earlier in the day, Nitish Kumar had stated that there is 'no question of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the State.'

"Your (Nitish Kumar) statements are always different from his actions. If they are not in favour of the CAA or NRC then he should have cleared to the House today that he will not allow the NPR process," said Yadav while responding on his reaction over Nitish Kumar's statement over NRC.

The RJD leader further alleged the Bihar Chief Minister for betraying the trust of people by keeping them in delusion with false promises.

"The JDU had said before as well that they will not compromise on Article 370, National Register of Citizens (NRC), triple talaq.......but what they did and they voted in their favour. Now People do not trust Kumar as he has betrayed people's trust and did something which is against the Constitution. They are keeping the people in delusion," Yadav said.

On January 13, Opposition parties had carried out a protest outside Bihar Legislative Assembly against the CAA, NRC, and NPR. The Opposition MLAs, including RJD and CPI (ML) MLAs, held placards that read, "A resolution must be passed against NRC, NPR, and CAA in the state Assembly."
