"It's All Bogus": Nitish Kumar on Tejashwi's 10 lakh jobs promise

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called Tejashwi Yadav's promise of jobs as "bogus". it's all bogus. Addressing an election rally in Parbatta on Friday, he said these statements were primarily made to "misguide and confuse" voters."These people keep saying we will give you jobs...all this is bogus talk. They will say anything at all. They will try to mislead and confuse people," said the Chief Minister.

At his rally, Nitish Kumar once again targeted Tejashwi Yadav by taking him back to the 15-year rule of his parents Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi. During their time between 1990 and 2005, said the Chief Minister, just 95,000 jobs were given - that too, when Bihar included Jharkhand and had not been bifurcated. "In our administration, over six lakh jobs were given and besides this many others were enrolled in other services," he said. The first phase of voting for Bihar took place on Wednesday. After two more rounds of voting, the results will be declared on November 10.
