After the Rashtriya Janata Dal was decimated in Lok Sabha Elections in Bihar, drawing blank, critical voices raised against party leader Tejashwi Yadav. An opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) legislator Maheshwar Yadav on Monday went on to demand Tejashwi Yadav’s resignation as Bihar opposition leader on moral grounds after the RJD-led Grand Alliance was routed by the ruling NDA in the Lok Sabha polls.
Tej Pratap Yadav on Tuesday, May 28, came in support of Tejashwi. Tej Pratap Yadav tweeted, “If anyone doubts Tejashwi’s leadership they should leave RJD.”
जिसको तेजस्वी के नेतृत्व पे कोई शक है वो राजद पार्टी छोर दे।

This is first time that the RJD failed to win a single seat in Lok Sabha polls in Bihar, which is regarded as a party bastion. In 2014, RJD won 4 seats despite the Modi wave.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) swept Bihar, bagging 39 of the 40 seats, decimating the Grand Alliance parties. The Congress won only the Kishanganj seat, which has a large percentage of minority community voters from.
