Tejashwi Yadav Mahagathbandhan's CM Candidate, Mukesh Sahani MGB's Dy CM Pick

It's official. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav is the Chief Ministerial face of the Opposition's Mahagathbandhan as Bihar gears up for a high-voltage Assembly election. After weeks of tussle within the Opposition bloc over seat-sharing, Congress veteran Ashok Gehlot today named Tejashwi as its Chief Ministerial face at a joint press conference of Mahagathbandhan allies in Patna. Gehlot said the Mahagathbandhan had chosen Tejashwi Yadav as its Chief Ministerial face because he is "young" and "committed". He then threw a dare to the BJP. "I want to ask Amit Shah... our leader is Tejashwi Yadav. Now they should confirm who is their (NDA) Chief Minister face." Gehlot also announced that Mukesh Sahani, the chief of Vikassheel Insaan Party, is the alliance's Deputy Chief Minister candidate, but added that more deputies could be announced later. The veteran leader said Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, wanted Tejashwi Yadav to be the opposition's Chief Ministerial face.
