Prime Minister Narendra Modi who met RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav at the inauguration of the Bihar Bhavan Memorial Column on Tuesday in the state assembly, advised him to reduce some weight.

During a brief conversation with the young leader, PM Modi also inquired about the health and well-being of Tejashwi’s father and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav.

For the unversed, Lalu Prasad Yadav has been admitted to the AIIMS in Delhi after he suffered multiple fractures due to an unfortunate fall. The conversation started after Modi said “Wazan Kam Karo (reduce weight),” to Bihar opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav.

During the conversation, 32-years-old Tejashwi also told 71-years-old Narendra Modi that his father Lalu Prasad Yadav is now stable and out of Critical Care Unit (CCU). To this, the PM was quick to say that he has also seen that now he is able to sit in a chair too, after a picture of Lalu Yadav sitting on a chair, straight from the hospital room was shared on Twitter.

PM Narendra Modi, who practices Yoga, asked Tejashwi to stay more aware of his health. He also asked the 32-years-old to lose some weight and take care of his health.

Meanwhile, at the inauguration of the Bihar Bhavan Memorial Column Tejashwi Yadav urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to award Bharat Ratna to the late socialist leader and former Bihar chief minister Karpoori Thakur for his contributions.

However, during his speech the young leader looked underconfident and fumbled a lot. While telling the contribution of Karpoori Thakur in the democratic system he faltered repeatedly.

Tejashwi Yadav also urged PM Modi to consider the idea of setting up a school of legislative studies in Bihar state. The RJD leader aims at boasting the home to the ‘oldest republic in the world’ at Vaishali.

Amid political turmoil in Maharashtra, a fresh political crisis was witnessed on Wednesday in BJP-ruled Bihar as 4 of 5 Asaduddin Owaisi’s MLAs joined Lalu Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal. Akhtarul Iman from Amour constituency is the only MLA of the Owaisi-led AIMIM in Bihar Assembly now.

Out of 5 Bihar AIMIM MLAs, 4 have joined the RJD today. Now, the RJD is the largest party in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, the RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said.

The four MLAs– Muhammed Izhar Asfi (Kochadamam), Shahnawaz Alam (Jokihat), Syed Ruknuddin (Baisi) and Azhar Nayeemi (Bahadurgunj)– have joined the RJD, the principal Opposition party in Bihar with 79 MLAs in the 243-member Legislative Assembly.

Owaisi’s Hyderabad-based outfit had put up an impressive show in November 2020 assembly polls by winning 5 out of 20 seats it contested. After the 2020 assembly elections result, the alliance led by RJD had blamed Owaisi’s AIMIM for eating their party votes in the Seemanchal region of Bihar.

The AIMIM had fielded 14 candidates in the Seemanchal region which comprises 4 districts Purnia, Katihar, Kishanganj, and Araria — accounting for 24 seats.

The region has a sizeable Muslim population and was considered an RJD-Congress stronghold but Owaisi ended up 2020 polls by winning 5 seats out of Seemanchal region’s 24 seats. However, it was hurted the prospects of RJD capturing the power and Tejashwi Yadav’s (son of Lalu Prasad Yadav) dream of becoming the Chief Minister of India’s second most populated state Bihar.

After winning 5 seats in Bihar in 2020 polls in Bihar, the Uttar Muslims had rejected Owaisi and did not vote for the Hyderabad-based party.
