Nitish Kumar playing with the lives of teachers, claims Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi Yadav's remarks came after more than 80 persons lost their lives in the last three days due to the extreme heatwave prevailing in several districts of Bihar

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.

“What will the teachers do without students? There were reports of deaths when the schools were opened amid the scorching heat due to the stubbornness of the NDA government in Bihar. 

"The schools were closed under pressure from the opposition, but still instructions have been issued to the teachers to come to the schools amid the scorching heat. What will the teachers do when there are no students in the schools? The teachers must be given leave in this scorching heat.” he asked.
