RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday remarked that the turn of events in Maharashtra reminded him the dramatic political turnaround in Bihar two years ago that left his party stripped of power and himself of the Deputy Chief Ministers post in an unceremonious fashion.
The younger son of Lalu Prasad also trained his guns at Sushil Kumar Modi and said that had the RJD joined hands with the BJP "he (Modi) would have still been the Deputy CM but serving under a Chief Minister of our party".
"Indeed, the events in Maharashtra remind me of the hijacking of popular mandate that we had witnessed in Bihar in 2017. The BJP has played this game in many states, an example being Goa.
"Now that the matter is sub judice I would not like to comment much but wait for the Supreme Courts verdict", Yadav
who is the leader of the opposition in the state assembly
