Munger (Bihar): RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday promised "200 units of free electricity" to consumers across Bihar upon formation of government by the 'Mahagathbandhan' helmed by his party.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an interaction with RJD workers in Munger, the former Deputy CM also said his party was drawing a "roadmap" to be shared with the public ahead of assembly polls due next year.

"The people of the state are reeling under exorbitant power tariff and erratic billing by smart pre-paid meters which deserve to be called smart cheaters. We intend to set things right and bring relief to the people by providing 200 units of free electricity. We are committed to do so upon coming to power but even until then we will put pressure on the Nitish Kumar government for the same", said Yadav, who is now leader of the opposition in the assembly.

The young leader alleged that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has "ceased" to be what he was and become a 'mukhauta' (mask) for a coterie which was pulling the strings in the state.
