Ahead of the Bihar Election 2025, Mahagathbandhan Chief Ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav has come under the radar for his littering video going viral, questioning his commitment to the nationwide cleanliness drive.
The video in question shows RJD leader dumping a plastic bottle on the ground instead of a dustbin as he stepped off his chopper during an election campaign. The clip has sparked a ‘Swachh Bharat’ row, with political rivals slamming alleged littering by a potential CM face who presents a vision of change for Bihar.
The video comes at a time when the Grand Alliance rolled out its ambitious ‘Tejashwi Pran Patra’ manifesto. Reacting to the clip, an observer wrote, “On one hand, there is a cleanliness campaign in the country, and this individual aspiring to be the Chief Minister is spreading filth in Bihar by littering with plastic. How will he make Bihar clean?”
