Tejashwi Yadav's Resurgent Campaign: A Promise of Permanent Jobs and Dignity for Bihar's Jeevika Didis

In a dynamic resurgence on the campaign trail for the Bihar Lok Sabha elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has once again ignited hopes among the state's youth and women with a slew of significant promises. Addressing enthusiastic crowds across various constituencies including Munger, Jamui, Bhagalpur, and Banka, Yadav passionately reiterated his commitment to ushering in an era of employment and empowerment.

At the heart of his campaign message is the bold pledge to provide permanent government jobs to Bihar’s youth.

This isn't a new promise, but one that resonates deeply in a state grappling with unemployment. Yadav emphasized that this commitment builds upon the RJD's track record, citing the creation of 4 lakh jobs during the brief period when his party was part of the government. He challenged the incumbent government's claims, asserting that the jobs provided previously were not merely contractual but permanent positions, contrasting them with the 'temporary' nature of roles like Shiksha Sevak.

Perhaps even more impactful is his strong advocacy for the 1.25 crore Jeevika Didis—women associated with self-help groups (SHGs) who play a pivotal role in rural economic upliftment.

Yadav declared his unwavering support, promising to regularize their services and significantly increase their honorarium. This commitment comes as a direct response to what he describes as their consistent neglect and insult by the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's government. He vowed to restore their dignity and ensure their contributions are rightfully recognized and rewarded.

Yadav's campaign strategy is not just about making promises; it's also a sharp critique of the current political landscape.

He squarely blamed Nitish Kumar for failing to deliver on his own pledges to Jeevika Didis, particularly regarding their regularization and honorarium hike. He highlighted Kumar's perceived shift in alliances, from 'Mahagathbandhan' to 'NDA', implying a betrayal of the mandate and the people's trust.

The RJD leader called upon the electorate to vote for change, asserting that the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) represents the true aspirations of Bihar's populace.

Through his rallies, Tejashwi Yadav is projecting a vision of Bihar where social justice, economic opportunity, and respect for women are paramount.

His focus on tangible benefits like permanent jobs and elevated status for Jeevika Didis aims to tap into the core concerns of a significant voting bloc, painting a vivid picture of a progressive and prosperous future for the state under his leadership.
