Tejashwi Yadav said he has equipped his 1, Polo Road bungalow with beds, oxygen cylinders, standard medicines and food for the patients.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJP) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday declared that he has set up a COVID Care Centre at his official bungalow and urged the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar to provide assistance for upgrade of the facilities available there. Mr Yadav, leader of the opposition in the state assembly, shared the letter addressed to health minister Mangal Pandey on his twitter handle and said he has also sent a copy of the same to the Chief Minister. In the letter, Mr Yadav, a former Deputy CM himself, said he has got the bungalow situated at 1, Polo Road equipped with "basic facilities" like beds, oxygen cylinders, standard medicines and food for patients to be admitted there and their attendants. "I would request the government that additions be made to the amenities in consultation with medical experts," said the 32-year-old who has emerged as the de facto leader of the party founded and headed by his father Lalu Prasad.
