The 29-year-old leader was criticised for not being present in the monsoon session of Bihar Assembly. In a tweet, he said that though he has been away, he has been following the updates on AES. "Constantly following up the untimely loss of hundreds of poor kids due to AES.

My Dear Bihar!I am very much here," he tweeted.

Explaining RJD's position, Yadav said, "Since its birth the RJD has been at the centre of poor peoples' struggle and that position is not lost only because of an electoral defeat. I wish to assure people of Bihar as well as our spirited cadre, we are going to fight with renewed commitment on everyday life issues of poor."
