Lalu Prasad Yadav in Delhi for routine eye check-up, says son Tejashwi

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav arrived in Delhi for an eye check-up, accompanied by family. His son Tejashwi Yadav called it a routine visit, while also launching a sharp attack on Bihar's NDA government over its finances and welfare schemes.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad arrived in Delhi on Saturday for a check-up of his eyes. He was accompanied by his wife Rabri Devi and son Tejashwi Yadav.

"His eye treatment was done last time, this time too, there is discomfort in his eyes, so he needs to get them checked, and after that....there was supposed to be a check-up every 3-4 months, but he hasn't been able to see the doctor for a year, so this is a routine check-up," Tejashwi Yadav said.

Tejashwi Yadav Slams Bihar Govt

Earlier in the day, Tejashwi Yadav launched a sharp offensive against the NDA government in Bihar, alleging that the state treasury is empty. The former Deputy Chief Minister accused the government of neglecting vulnerable groups, specifically pointing to delayed welfare disbursements for women and senior citizens.

"The government has no money to do anything, the treasury is empty," Yadav said, targeting the state's financial management. The RJD leader demanded immediate clarity on the rollout of promised financial assistance.

"The second instalment that was promised to women, when will it be given? When will pensions be provided? You have deceived the people," he alleged. Taking a dig at Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary over his recent public statements, Yadav added that the opposition finds the government's rhetoric detached from reality. "If the Chief Minister makes statements like this, we laugh at their thinking," the LoP remarked.
