In a stinging rebuff to the newly formed NDA administration, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has accused the Samrat Choudhary government of "betraying the mothers and daughters of Bihar." Yadav alleged that more than 1.81 crore Jeevika Didis and other women across the state have been denied the crucial second installment of financial aid promised under state-sponsored schemes.Empty Promises and a Bankrupt Treasury?Tejashwi Yadav took to social media to highlight a deepening financial crisis in the state. He claimed that during the recent elections, the NDA government made lofty promises of providing ₹2 lakh to registered women. However, post-elections, the reality is starkly different.The Figures: Yadav pointed out that 18 lakh women are yet to receive even their first installment, while a staggering 1.81 crore women are waiting for their second payout.The Allegation: "The Bihar treasury is now empty," Yadav asserted, adding that the government knowingly distributed ₹41,000 crore in the final days of the election purely for "vote-looting," leading to the current chaotic state of Bihar's finances."Killing the Dreams of Youth"The RJD leader didn't stop at financial aid. He accused the Samrat government of playing with the future of Bihar’s youth and putting essential sectors like education, health, and agriculture at high risk. "They knew that distributing cash by taking massive loans was a suicidal step for a state with limited resources, but they prioritized power over the welfare of the state," Tejashwi said.Bureaucratic Reshuffle vs. Ground RealityThe attack comes at a time when the Samrat Choudhary government is actively reshuffling the state's bureaucracy, including several high-profile IAS officer transfers. While the government is focusing on its new administrative plan, the opposition is framing it as a distraction from the brewing economic distress and the "betrayal of trust" of Bihar’s women.The Political FaceoffAs Bihar navigates this leadership transition, Tejashwi Yadav’s sharp critique signals a rough road ahead for the Samrat government. With the tagline "Selected, Not Elected," the RJD has consistently questioned the legitimacy of the current setup, and the non-payment of dues to Jeevika Didis provides them with significant political ammunition for the upcoming sessions.
