Tejashwi Yadav made big promises on October 26, 2023. He vowed pensions for Panchayat members. He also offered insurance for them and PDS dealers. These plans aim to help local bodies in Bihar.
Tejashwi Yadav’s Bold New Pledges
The RJD leader wants to support local officials. He promised an old-age pension for elected Panchayat representatives. This would give them financial security later in life. Imagine how this could help rural leaders!
Yadav also announced accidental insurance. This covers both Panchayat members and PDS dealers. PDS dealers sell food grains at fair prices. They serve many people. This insurance would protect them from unforeseen events.
These pledges are a key part of his recent push. They show his focus on grassroots workers. The Panchayati Raj system is vital in local governance. Yadav wants to strengthen it.
Political Rivals Question Funding
These promises quickly drew fire. The Janata Dal (United) or JDU strongly criticized them. JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar spoke out. He called Yadav’s plans “Jungle Raj 2.0.” This term suggests a return to chaotic times.
JDU leaders questioned the funding. Where will the money for these pensions come from? They say Bihar’s budget cannot support such grand schemes. They believe these promises are simply unrealistic.
Kumar highlighted past governance issues. He warned against reckless populism. The JDU thinks Yadav’s ideas are not practical. They see them as desperate attempts to win votes.
Political debates are heating up. Both sides are making their points. This issue is now a major talking point in Bihar. It shows the sharp divide in current state politics.
What do you think about these ambitious promises? Can Bihar afford them? The discussion continues to trend online and among voters.
