In a major announcement weeks ahead of the high-voltage election in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav said that if the Opposition alliance comes to power, a member of every family in the state will get a government job. He assured that legislation to enable this will be brought within 20 days of government formation. "There will be no home in Bihar without a job," he told the media.
"We are going to make a historic announcement today. Many people wanted to know how we want to take Bihar forward. For 20 years, this ramshackle government never realised that unemployment is the biggest issue," Yadav said.
