"This Is Tejashwi Yadav Speaking". A Phone Call In Bihar Goes Viral

Bihar opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav failed to oust Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in the November state election but his clout is intact, or so it appeared from his phone chat with a top official, widely shared on social media. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader arrived to show his support to protesting teachers in Patna when he was told that the protesters had been denied permission for a sit-in at their planned venue. He spoke to the Chief Secretary, police chief and the Patna District Magistrate and extracted an assurance that the protest would be allowed.
