Bihar Election 2025: With just a few weeks remaining in the much-hyped Bihar Assembly election, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has again taken a dig at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's mental health. While sharing the chief minister's recent video of garlanding a woman at an event, Tejashwi Yadav questioned his health, further stating that the JDU chief is no longer fit enough to run the state. The opposition leaders, especially Tejashwi, have targeted Nitish Kumar for his alleged poor mental health. The RJD leader also claimed that the strategists of the JDU have tricked the chief minister to favour the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), while sharing the video, Tejashwi claimed that the chief minister was reading a written speech at the event because of his health. "Ee gajab aadmi hai bhai. If the Chief Minister is healthy, why is he behaving like this after reading a written speech?" Tejashwi stated.
However, this was not the first time that the leader of the opposition has questioned Nitish Kumar's mental health. Earlier, while sharing a video of an online meeting, the RJD leader stated that the chief minister has not been taking his decisions.
ई गजब आदमी है भाई!!! 😀

मुख्यमंत्री जी अगर स्वस्थ है तो लिखा हुआ भाषण पढ़ ऐसी हरकतें क्यों कर रहे है? #Bihar pic.twitter.com/Xhit9l37Ib
"Can this mental state of the Chief Minister be blamed on his close aides who may be spiking his food at the instance of alliance partner BJP?", the RJD leader asked. "For quite some time, the Chief Minister has been behaving in a manner that shows he is not in the proper state of mind. He has made crude remarks about my mother Rabri Devi, a former chief minister, and women in general. Once he was caught on camera fooling around while the national anthem was being played in the background," he added.
