Patna. Monday was a special day in the politics of Bihar not only because senior BJP MLA Dr. Prem Kumar was unanimously elected Speaker of the Assembly, but also because Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav broke his political silence by speaking publicly for the first time since November 14. When Prem Kumar became the President, all the leaders from the ruling party to the opposition congratulated him for assuming the new responsibility. In the same sequence, Tejashwi Yadav also gave his address and he not only congratulated Prem Kumar but also expressed hope that now the voice of the opposition will be heard in the Assembly with more respect and seriousness than before. After about 17 days of silence, his statement was given very thoughtfully and it was clearly visible that Tejashwi is now reestablishing himself as the leader of the opposition in a new style.
Big message on restraint in Tejashwi’s language in the House
As soon as Tejashwi Yadav started giving the congratulatory message, a different kind of seriousness was visible in the House. He neither showed bitterness nor adopted the old style of political allegations. Instead his words reflected decency and deep political undertones. He said- You are the representative of the land of knowledge and salvation, you come from the land of Lord Vishnu and Mahatma Buddha. In such a situation, we have full confidence that you will run the House impartially. We are confident that you will give equal respect to the voice of the opposition also. In the eyes of experts, this statement of Tejashwi Yadav was not just a formality, but an indirect message of deciding his role in the House in the coming days.
