Last month the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader, elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and brother to Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav, landed in a pickle when he suffixed ‘Yadav’ to the name of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

During his address at a public meeting at Kargahar village in Rohtas district on Saturday, the state environment, forest and climate change minister said, “Nitish Kumar ‘Yadav’ has talked about maximum recruitment in all the departments”. 

Sensing a slip of tongue, Tej Pratap said, “We all are one. All are descendants of Lord Shri Krishna. Yadav-Madhav-Raghu-Yadu all are the descendants of Lord Ram and Krishna. History tells us that we all are one. This is the reason why ‘Yadav’ gets suffixed to Nitish Kumar’s name.”

Notably, RJD leader Bhai Virendra on Friday mentioned Bihar CM’s name as Nitish Kumar ‘Yadav’ during a programme.

His party colleague Tej Pratap Yadav added further grist to speculations by adding the surname ‘Yadav’ to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.

Meanwhile, Bihar has featired in the list of 9 Indian states that among the world’s top 50 regions at risk of damage to the built environment due to climate change hazards, according to a new report ‘Gross Domestic Climate Risk’. 

The nine Indian states include Bihar (22nd spot), Uttar Pradesh (25), Assam (28), Rajasthan (32), Tamil Nadu (36), Maharashtra (38), Gujarat (48), Punjab (50), and Kerala (52).
