BJP accuses RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav of stealing sofa sets, ACs upon vacating official bungalow

Bihar BJP Media in-charge Danish Iqbal on Monday (Oct 7) launched a scathing attack on former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav’s ‘upbringing and mentality’, alleging that several items like furniture, light fixtures, and air conditioners were found missing from the bungalow after the RJD leader vacated it.

“The base of the bed is missing, the AC and lights have been removed, and the water outlets in the washroom have been taken out. Even the badminton court mat has been taken, and the fountain lights and sofas have been taken. It’s clear that when Tejashwi Yadav vacated the house, he took everything with him. This speaks volumes about his mentality,” Danish Iqbal said.

“I’m not just accusing him, but it is completely proven. The way Tejaswi Yadav vacated his official residence, shows his upbringing. The way he vacated the house, he has displayed how to loot government’s property,” he added.

Bihar Deputy CM, Samrat Chaudhary, was supposed to move into this bungalow during Navratri, but there were disputes around it beforehand.
