"I Am In No Hurry": Tejashwi Yadav On Becoming Bihar Chief Minister

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday asserted that he was "in no hurry" to replace his boss Nitish Kumar, rubbishing speculations that his RJD wanted to elbow out the ageing JD(U) leader.

Mr Yadav, who is in his early 30s, also deftly rebuffed queries from journalists as to whether he felt "cheated" by averments of some top JD(U) leaders that the septuagenarian Mr Kumar would complete his five-year tenure ending in 2025 and was "capable of" leading the Mahagathbandhan till 2030.

"What wrong did they say? Indeed he (Nitish) is very much capable. And the longer he stays, the richer will be his experience. I am in no hurry," said the RJD leader, who returned as Deputy CM in August last year following the JD(U)'s exit from BJP-led NDA.

The statement of Mr Yadav, younger son and heir apparent of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, comes as a reprieve for the JD(U) which recently saw its parliamentary board chief Upendra Kushwaha walking out alleging that a "deal" has been struck with the alliance partner.

Moreover, quite a few MLAs of the RJD, a party not known for restraint in speech, have also been issuing statements that Yadav will be taking over after Holi, which falls in the first week of March.

Mr Yadav said he was concentrating on ensuring the defeat of the BJP in the general elections next year by ensuring that out of 40 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state, "They do not win a single seat".

He also made light of former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi expressing the wish that his son Santosh Suman, a minister in the cabinet from the quota of Hindustani Awam Morcha, could be considered for the highest seat of power.

"Is it a sin to have ambitions for one's children? Do all of you not want to see your sons rise higher than you?" remarked the young, but savvy, politician.

However, Mr Kushwaha, who addressed a press conference at his residence to announce that he would be undertaking a state-wide tour beginning next week, maintained that the RJD and Tejashwi were throwing their weight around and undermining the CM.

"Only yesterday the CM had to keep waiting for a member of his cabinet (Tejashwi) at a function for two hours. It was not a coincidence. It was a snub that followed statements of some top JD(U) leaders who sought to underscore the indispensability of Kumar," claimed Mr Kushwaha, who has since floated a new outfit Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal.

"When the RJD has the cheek to insult Mr Kumar while he is still the CM, I shudder at what lies in store for the JD(U)", said the former Union minister, who has been refusing to reveal his cards amid speculations that he was slated to return to the NDA.

However, replying to a pointed query, he ruled out attending a couple of meetings Union Home Minister Amit Shah was slated to address in Bihar later this week.

"Those are BJP events. I cannot be a part when I am not a member of that party," he pointed out.

Mr Kushwaha drew some praise from senior BJP leader and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad who addressed a press conference to highlight the Union budget's promises for Bihar and debunk the claims of Mahagathbandhan that the state has been short-changed.

"Mr Kushwaha has decided to resign as a member of the Legislative Council even though he was nominated to the House by the governor and the defection law would not have applied to him. What a contrast with Nitish ji, who keeps changing allies but sticks to power," said Mr Prasad, who is also the local MP.

Delhi's New Mayor Shelly Oberoi Sets Priorities: "Landfill Sites, AAP's 10 Guarantees"

Delhi's newly elected Mayor Shelly Oberoi on Wednesday said the AAP-led municipal corporation will carry out an inspection of landfill sites in the next three days and also work to deliver the party's 10 "guarantees" promised to people before the MCD polls.

Ms Oberoi defeated the BJP's Rekha Gupta by 34 votes in what was the new municipal House's fourth attempt to elect a mayor after its three previous meetings -- January 6 and 24, and February 6 -- were washed out amid acrimonious exchanges between the AAP and the BJP over voting rights to aldermen (nominated members).

Ms Oberoi, 39, tried to strike a conciliatory note after taking charge as mayor. "We have to work together to fulfil the aspirations of people." "First of all, I am thankful to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia for giving me such a huge responsibility," she told PTI in an interview after being elected.

"We will all work together to fulfil the 10 guarantees given by our party. The priority will be to improve schools, hospitals, parks. We will work for the beautification of Delhi and all the 250 councillors, not only from the AAP, will work towards it." The mountain of garbage at the three landfill sites was a key election issue with the AAP promising to clear it in a time-bound manner.

"Our councillors were working already in their respective areas, even though officially our team will start working from tomorrow. In the next three to four days we will go to inspect all the landfill sites," she said.

Earlier, she had told the media that an "inspection of landfill sites will be done in the next three months".

In a statement later, she said, "Goons have lost and democracy has won." Ms Oberoi becomes the first mayor of the Aam Aadmi Party as also of the unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

A former assistant professor at Delhi University, she is more known for her academic laurels, but she tasted success in electoral debut in the December MCD polls from East Patel Nagar ward -- considered the home turf of former Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta.

Talking about her political foray and subsequent win, she added, "My family is proud of it. I am from academics and all my professors are proud of me. But expectations are also very high. Everyone is happy and there is a lot of responsibility on me." While talking to mediapersons, she thanked the people of Delhi and Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena. "My thanks are due also to the Supreme Court, because of whose order the mayor election was held today peacefully." The issue of voting right to aldermen had reached the Supreme Court which said members nominated by the lieutenant government cannot vote in mayoral election. Mr Kejriwal congratulated the people of Delhi over Ms Oberoi's win and hit out at the BJP, saying the public won and the "goons" were defeated.

"The goons lost, the public won. In the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the people of Delhi won and hooliganism was defeated. Congratulations to the people of Delhi on Shelly Oberoi being elected mayor," Mr Kejriwal tweeted.

Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party's Aaley Mohammad Iqbal defeated the BJP's Kamal Bagri by a margin of 31 votes to become the deputy mayor of Delhi.

Mr Iqbal, soon after being elected, told reporters, "Eighty days have been lost so far" as the election couldn't be held earlier.

"In the coming days, we will strive to cover up for the loss of these 80 days. And, then we will work round-the-clock to make Delhi a better place, and help realise the dreams that Arvind Kejriwal has dreamt for the city," he said.

In the run-up to the MCD polls in December, Mr Kejriwal had announced 10 "guarantees" for the residents of the national capital. Under the first guarantee, Mr Kejriwal said Delhi's garbage mountains would be cleared and the city beautified.

The second guarantee pertained to getting rid of corruption in the MCD, while the third, fourth and fifth guarantees include solving the parking crisis, ending the stray-animal menace and repairing roads under the MCD.

Under the sixth guarantee, the party has promised to beautify schools, dispensaries and hospitals of the MCD that are in disrepair while under the seventh guarantee, the party plans to transform Delhi into a city of parks.

The eighth guarantee is regularisation of contractual workers, while the ninth and tenth guarantees pertain to easing the woes of traders and hawkers.

"Congress-Led Government In 2024, Let 100 Modis, Shahs Come": Mallikarjun Kharge

The Congress will lead an opposition coalition that will unseat the BJP in the 2024 national elections, party chief Mallikarjun Kharge has said, announcing that the 137-year-old outfit was in talks with "every" other party to realise it.

"[Prime Minister Narendra] Modi has several times said, 'I am the only man who can face the country. No other people can touch me.' No democratic man says this. You are in a democracy, you should remember you are not an autocrat. You are not a dictator. You are elected by people and people will teach you a lesson," he said at an election rally in Nagaland.

"In 2024, the alliance government will come to the centre, Congress will lead. We are talking with other parties because otherwise the democracy and constitution will go," Mr Kharge said.

"Therefore, with every party now and then, we are calling, we are talking, we are sharing our views. The BJP will not get a majority. All other parties together, we will get the majority... let 100 Modis or Shah come," he said, baiting the Prime Minister and his chief strategist Home Minister Amit Shah.

"Our people have given their lives to get freedom. Congress. Not you, BJP people. Tell me has any BJP leader been hanged for freedom, or fought for freedom? Has gone to jail? Instead, a man who brought freedom, Mahatma Gandhi, they killed him. And such people are talking patriotism?" he said.

"For the country's unity, Indira Gandhi gave her life. For the country's unity, Rajiv Gandhi gave his life. They think that they got independence only in 2014. They don't remember 1947," Mr Kharge said.

The Congress President's attack on the BJP comes as the party gears up for a tough fight against the party and its allies in the northeast, where Meghalaya and Nagaland will vote on Monday. Tripura, which voted last week, saw the Congress team up with its long-time rival the Left.
