Tejashwi Yadav misleading people with eye on Bihar elections

MUMBAI: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s remarks about “throwing the amended Waqf Act in dustbin” was an attempt to mislead people of Bihar ahead of assembly polls there, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal said on Wednesday.

“There is a competition between Tejashwi and Owaisi. They treat Muslims as vote bank,” Pal, chairman of joint parliamentary committee on Waqf (Amendment) Bill, told reporters in Mumbai.

Tejashwi had said that his Mahagathbandhan bloc, if elected to power in Bihar, will throw the amended Waqf Act in dustbin.
