Patna, Nov 5: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said that a political change in Bihar is “inevitable,” asserting that people are ready to oust the BJP and form a new government under RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership.

Addressing a series of rallies in Nawada, Jamui, Belhar (Banka), and Nathnagar (Bhagalpur) in support of INDIA bloc candidates, Akhilesh said the public mood reflected strong anger against the ruling party.

“Winds of change are blowing in Bihar. People are fed up with the BJP. This time, the government will change on issues of employment, education, and development,” he said.

The SP chief said Bihar, which has historically shaped national politics, is once again set to trigger a major shift. “The INDIA bloc government is going to be formed, and Tejashwi Yadav will become the young Chief Minister,” he declared.

Attacking the BJP, Akhilesh alleged that its policies had ignored farmers and youth, adding that the party had brought “inflation, corruption, and unemployment” to Bihar.

He promised 200 units of free electricity per household and a focus on jobs and law and order if the alliance comes to power.

Invoking Bihar’s legacy, Akhilesh said:

“Bihar is the land of Mahavir, Buddha, Karpoori Thakur, and Lalu Prasad Yadav. The people here understand politics and will show the way to the country once again.”

He said just as the Samajwadi Party defeated the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, “Bihar will do the same this time.”

The first phase of voting in Bihar, covering 121 seats, will be held on Thursday.
