The Bihar Deputy Chief Minister was responding to a suggestion by RJD president Jagdanand Singh that he should take over from Nitish Kumar as CM in 2023
A day after state Rashtriya Janata Dal president Jagdanand Singh said that party leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav would become Chief Minister of Bihar as soon as in 2023, Mr. Yadav clarified that he was neither in a hurry, nor having the desire to become Chief Minister of the State.
Mr. Yadav also suggested party leaders to refrain from making such statements.
“There is nothing like making me the Chief Minister. I have no such desire nor I am in a hurry for this,” said Tejashwi Yadav on Friday.
“Our main target was to remove BJP-RSS from the seat of power and we’ve done this in Bihar”, he added.
“Now we should strive to unite the Opposition parties. Nitish Kumar ji is already the Chief Minister of Bihar and the government under him is working well in the State,” Mr. Yadav said in a video message.
He also suggested party leaders and workers to refrain from making such comments in public. “But, they (party leaders and supporters) love us and sometime make such comments in enthusiasm,” he added.
Earlier, state RJD chief Jagdanand Singh had said that Tejashwi would become Chief Minister of the State “as soon as 2023”.
