NDA government has made Bihar main hub of unemployment and migration: Tejashwi Yadav
Sep-08-2025

Leader of Opposition and ex-deputy minister of Bihar Tejashwi Prasad Yadav made a jab at the NDA-led government of Bihar, saying it has made Bihar a hub of unemployment, migration and poverty.

Tejashwi Yadav said that ‘Despite the Nitish-Modi government being in power in Bihar for 20 years and at the center for 11 years, the NDA government has made Bihar the main hub of unemployment migration, and poverty. This is not my claim but what the Government of India's NITI Aayog reports have been saying year after year.’ 

Highlighting the state’s lag in economic development, Yadav pointed out that Bihar's per capita income over the past 20 years continues to remain lower than that of the world's poorest African countries, Uganda and Rwanda. 

Tejashwi Yadav asked why the government has not established sector-specific clusters in the state for 20 years. He also questioned the state’s failure to promote tourism, curb mass migration, ensure transparent recruitment, and prevent the closure of sugar, jute, and paper mills, warning that billions allocated for health and education have left the state without visible progress.

The Bihar elections are set to be held later this year, in October or November. However, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not yet announced an official date.
