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."
Reports said the five RJD’s Members of Legislative Council (MLCs), Upper House of the Bihar legislature, walked to the chamber of acting Council chairman today and submitted their resignations.
On Monday again, Patna woke up to yet another giant poster that read “Bihar ka mukhyamantri gayab kyon hai (Why the chief minister of Bihar has gone missing)?”
The chief minister is drawing ridicule from his opponents for poor turnouts at this important JD-U programme meet organised on his birthday.
The “clarification” assumes significance in the light of the prevailing speculations about his growing proximity with Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav from the RJD in the recent week during which he had held two successive closed-door meetings with the latter in the Bihar assembly.
The poor performance of his party, the JD-U, on two seats in Delhi which he contested in alliance with the BJP—first such alliance in over a decade outside Bihar—speaks volumes about how Nitish failed to leave his impact on migrant Bihari voters.
