Patna, Mar 31 (UNI) RJD on Monday reiterated that Tejashwi Prasad Yadav would be the CM face of the Grand Alliance in the next assembly elections in Bihar, scheduled to be held in October-November this year.

State spokesman of RJD Mrityunjay Tiwary told media persons here that

former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav would be the CM face of the Grand Alliance in the next assembly elections to be held in October-November this year in Bihar. He dismissed all dissenting voices of state Congress leaders on the issue of the CM's face.

" Congress high command decides on CM face of Grand Alliance in Bihar ", Tiwary said, adding that Congress high command had given its consent to project Tejashwi as CM face of Grand Alliance in 2020 Bihar assembly elections. Tejashwi was the CM face of the Grand Alliance in the last assembly elections, and there was no confusion over his name as CM face again in the upcoming assembly elections, he added.

Leader of Congress legislative party in the Assembly, Ajeet Sharma stressed that no decision has been taken on the CM's face of the Grand Alliance. A decision on CM's face would be taken in a meeting of the leaders of all parties of the Grand Alliance, he had maintained a few weeks back.

In-charge of Bihar of Congress, Krishna Allaveru had also maintained stoic silence on the CM's face of the Grand Alliance in Bihar. No decision on the CM's face was taken in the meeting of senior Congress leaders in New Delhi. Yes, a decision was taken for all constituents of the Grand Alliance contesting together in the next assembly elections but the CM face was yet to be finalised, he had pointed out recently.
