40% MLAs of JD-U may join RJD and make Tejashwi Bihar CM, claims BJP
The statement of the BJP leader Sanjay Jaiswal may be an attempt to destabilise the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government by creating confusion among the leaders of Mahagathbandhan.
The JD-U on Tuesday sacked its Gujarat General Secretary Arun Srivastava for writing to the returning officer over appointment of party's election agent when he was not directed to do so.
The decision, confirmed by party leader K C Tyagi, came in the wake of a high-pitch battle that broke out between the BJP and Congress on Tuesday night over the Rajya Sabha elections in Gujarat.
Janata Dal-United's sole assembly member Chhotubhai Vasava said he voted for the Congress because the BJP has been looting the state for the last 20 years and he was opposed to his party chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar joining hands with the BJP.
