Tejashwi Yadav Says ‘Three People Running Bihar Govt,’ Slams NDA Over Cabinet Expansion Delay

April 30, 2026

Patna: Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the NDA government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, alleging administrative paralysis and lack of direction due to the delay in cabinet expansion.

He further alleged that within just six months of the Bihar Assembly elections, the state has already witnessed two chief ministers and nearly half of the government’s first year has been “wasted.”

“For the people of Bihar, it is extremely concerning that even after squandering nearly 50 percent of the time, the government’s priorities, policies and programs remain unclear,” he said.

Yadav also accused the ruling alliance of functioning without proper consultation or deliberation.

“With an incomplete cabinet, decisions are being taken arbitrarily in an undemocratic manner,” he stated.

He took a direct swipe at former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, claiming that frequent political shifts have led to administrative confusion and weakened governance.

According to Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar is currently grappling with multiple challenges, including unemployment, migration, corruption, poor law and order and economic stress.

“What solution can a government that is itself a problem offer to the people?” he questioned.

The remarks come amid ongoing political tensions in Bihar over cabinet expansion and governance priorities, with the opposition intensifying its criticism of the ruling alliance.

At present, the Bihar government is run by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, who holds 29 departments, and two deputy chief ministers, Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav, who respectively hold 10 and 8 departments.
