Leader of the RJD Tejashwi Yadav asserted on Friday that the Bihar administration, headed by Nitish Kumar, is meddling in the lives of educators.
Tejashwi Yadav made these comments following the deaths of over 80 people in three days as a result of the intense heatwave that affected numerous districts of Bihar.
Even though the state is experiencing extreme heat, the Education Department has instructed teachers to report to work. This comes after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ordered government schools in Bihar to close.
Putting a question mark on the working style of the Chief Minister, his ministers, and officials, Tejashwi Yadav uploaded a post on X that said: "The Chief Minister and his Cabinet members are resting in AC rooms and are hell-bent on taking the lives of teachers.
