By Rohit Kumar Singh: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said that his father and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav will be undergoing a kidney transplant operation in Singapore on December 5.

Tejashwi Yadav was speaking at an election rally in Kurhni where a bypoll is set to take place on December 5. The RJD leader said that he would go to Singapore on December 3 to be present with his family when the operation takes place.

“My father’s kidney transplant operation will take place on December 5. My elder sister, Rohini, is donating her kidney to her father. I will go to Singapore on December 3,” he said.

While addressing the election rally, Tejashwi once again reiterated that his government would fullfill the promise of providing 20 lakh government jobs and creating employment opportunities for the youths of Bihar. He declared that soon more than 1.5 lakh jobs will be created in the health department which is headed by him.

“Last elections, I had promised 10 lakh government jobs and Nitish Kumar had further said that 20 lakh government jobs and employment opportunities would be created. 1,50000 jobs in health department will be given soon,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav lashed out at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi for fielding a candidate in Kurhni bypolls and accused him of being B-team of the BJP.

“Why doesn’t he (Asaduddin Owaisi) fight byelections in Hyderabad and Telangana? Why is he fighting elections in Bihar? I appeal to the voters of Kurhni not to get divided”, Tejashwi said.
