Addressing the media after meeting the TMC supremo at Nabanna, the state secretariat here, Tejashwi said, “Lalu Ji’s decision is to give full support to Mamata Ji. Our first priority is to stop the BJP from coming to power in Bengal.”

He also took a jibe in recent weeks on a “procession” of BJP leaders who reached West Bengal to campaign for the party and questioned Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about her ability to run a government in a better state.

“BJP is such a big party. BJP has brought a ‘baarat’ (procession) to all the Union Ministers of West Bengal. Who is their groom? Name a single BJP leader who is more experienced than Mamta Banerjee in running the government. Will you hand over power to a leader who does not have any experience?” Tejashwi Yadav asked.
