Taking a sarcastic jibe, Yadav proposed the formation of a "Jamai Aayog" (Sons-in-law Commission) and even a "Jija Aayog" (Brothers-in-law Commission) to highlight what he called rampant nepotism.
"Modi keeps talking against 'family politics', but he should come and see what's happening in Bihar," RJD leader Yadav told reporters. "We had earlier asked for a Special Arrangement Commission. There should be Jamai Aayog, but now, there should also be a Jija Aayog too.
So many relatives are being given positions. Officers are helping their relatives adjust to the system. The Prime Minister ignores this."
Yadav claimed that the state government is in disarray, with leaders using their connections to appoint relatives, regardless of merit.
"Everything is being done based on connections - daughter from one quota, son-in-law from another. A 'Brothers-in-law Commission' should be formed quickly.
The chief minister is not in control. And people in his party are happy about this and doing whatever they want. They are looting Bihar," he alleged.
He also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the issue during his visits to Bihar. "Whenever PM Modi visits Bihar, he only criticises us. But he never questions what's happening in his own alliance. There is an RSS quota. Can the chief minister tell us how many ministers are from the RSS? In Bihar, people who lost elections are still made ministers.

Some even got the post after their term ended. These same people now lecture us.
"
RJD leader further commented on
receiving a civilian award from Cyprus this week. "He is the Prime Minister of India. Maybe that's why he is getting the honour. But let's talk about the real situation in the country - there's unemployment, poverty, and rising prices. The government hasn't done much except distribute free rations. But what about people's homes, jobs, education, and healthcare?"

Ties bitter, but Bangladesh mango diplomacy still sweet enough
File photo: PM Modi meeting Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus (ANI) DHAKA: Bangladesh has sent a consignment of the famed Haribhanga mangoes for PM Narendra Modi as it continues its "mango diplomacy", started by former PM Sheikh Hasina , to serve as a sweet symbol of goodwill between Dhaka and New Delhi despite phases of tension between them following her government's fall last year. Chief adviser Muhammad Yunus has sent 1,000 kg of Haribhanga mangoes to PM Modi as a gesture of friendship between the two neighbours. The consignment is scheduled to reach New Delhi on Monday, officials said. The Yunus-led interim government in Dhaka has also sent consignments to states bordering Bangladesh. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and Tripura CM Manik Saha are among the recipients. Bangladesh has a long-standing tradition of sending seasonal gifts, particularly mangoes, to the Indian PM and state leaders to reinforce cultural ties and regional diplomacy.
