Patna (Bihar) [India], March 4 (ANI): Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha slammed RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav after a verbal exchange took place in the Bihar assembly between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the ex-Deputy CM, during the former's post-budget speech.

Slamming Tejashwi, Sinha said that even though the RJD leader was praising his father today, he 'hides his father's face during elections.'

He further accused the former Bihar Deputy CM of being 'against the culture of Sanatan' and opposed its values.

Speaking to the media, Sinha said, 'Today, Tejaswi Yadav was praising his father Lalu Prasad Yadav... even though he is praising him today, he covers his face during the elections for the bad deeds he has committed.'

'All big leaders of BJP are not from dynasty politics. BJP has always stayed away from dynasty politics...Tejaswi Yadav has gone away from Sanatan and opposes the values...' he further stated.

Earlier today, in the Bihar assembly, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar asserted that he played a 'key role' in shaping the political career of Tejashwi Yadav's father also the former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav.

As Kumar was making his speech, Tejashwi interrupted him, over which Kumar said, 'What was there in Bihar earlier? It was me who made your father what he became. Even the people from your caste questioned me on why I was supporting him, but I still did.'

Earlier, Bihar BJP President Sanjay Jaiswal, during his address, praised the state budget and said that new projects in infrastructure and Airports will give a new direction to the state's development under the NDA.

Sanjay Jaiswal said, 'The budget is historic. During Lalu Prasad Yadav's tenure, the budget cost would be Rs 30000 crores, and today, after 20 years, the budget cost is Rs 3 lakh crores. New projects on infrastructure and the Airport will give a new direction to the development of the state under NDA.' (ANI)
