The BJP has alleged that Bihar Depꦏuty Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav was a "fake", w🌼ho belonged to a family of "shepherds" but claimed to be a descendant of Lord Krishna's clan.
Stat🍃e BJP spokesperson and OBC Morcha national general secretary Nikhil An♛and came out with a stinging statement against the young RJD leader in response to a press conference held by the latter.
In the press meet, Yadav had fulminated against "a Union Minister, who was dreaming of becoming the CM and planning a game (‘khela’) in Bihar".Though Yadav had not named anybody, Anand on Thursday took the bait, saying "Nityanand Rai (MoS for Home) is a real Yadav as he belongs to a family of ꧑cowherds and is, therefore, a descendant of Lord Krishna. Tejashwi is ‘farji’ (fake) as he belongs to a community of shepherds".
It has been widely speculated that were the BJP to win🍌 power in Bihar, it might back Rai as the Chief Minister in a bid to win over the Yadavs, the most populous and politica🍸lly assertive caste group in the state, which has, by and large, remained steadfast in support to RJD president Lalu Prasad.
Those from the caste claim to be descendants of the ‘Yaduvansh’ dynasty of ancient India in which, as per legend, Lord Kris🥂hna was born.
