What happened
Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy participated in a campaign meeting in West Champaran, Bihar, where he criticized the NDA alliance for its alleged corruption and failure to fulfill promises made to the electorate. He questioned the NDA's track record on job creation and economic development, specifically asking how many jobs had been provided and how many individuals had benefited financially over the past two decades. Reddy promised that if the Mahagathbandhan coalition wins, Bihar would experience governance similar to that of Telangana, which he claimed successfully implemented its election promises, including loan waivers and affordable utilities. He urged voters to support the Mahagathbandhan, suggesting that young leader Tejaswi Yadav would become the Chief Minister if they succeed in the elections.
