Tejashwi Yadav of RJD pledged to scrap the Waqf (Amendment) Act if his party forms the government in Bihar after the upcoming assembly polls, sparking criticism from BJP and JD(U). The act, passed by Parliament, imposes stricter control over waqf properties. Tejashwi faced accusations of misleading voters and disrespecting parliamentary decisions. He also promised to double allowances for panchayat representatives and provide insurance cover and pensions to former members during his campaign in Seemanchal. BJP and JD(U) dismissed these pledges as empty populism, criticizing the RJD's track record and accusing Tejashwi of promoting false promises.
