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 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.
Addressing a press conference at his residence in Bihar's Patna, Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader said, "Even if Nitish Kumar asks me to leave JD-U, I won't.
This comes amid speculation about Kushwaha 'being in touch' with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
According to a section of political commentators, BJP might use the JD(U) Parliamentary Board chairman to destabilize the Mahagatbandhan Government.
Kumar targeted the BJP leaders, and said, "BJP leaders should go in public and make people aware about the benefits of liquor ban in Bihar."
At least three ministers, Sanjay Kumar Jha, Ashok Chaudhary, and Shrawan Kumar, came before the media to clarify that Kumar is not very much “eager” to be projected as the Presidential candidate, although he happens to be the “most-suited” candidate for this post and aptly deserves it.
The fresh incident comes barely a fortnight after the thieves sold off a 45-year-old steel bridge weighing some 500 tons after dismantling it in Rohtas district.
A twist in the turn came when the PM, at one of his election rallies, described LJP founder late Ram Vilas Paswan as a “true friend” while paying him tribute.
Snubbed by the raw deal when the BJP showed no interest in joining hands with its Bihar ally, the JD-U had recently announced to go it alone in the UP assembly polls.
The move has triggered strong protests from the JD-U with chief minister Nitish Kumar himself leading the charge.
