In a sharp reaction to RJD leader Misa Bharti's remarks, the BJP leaders said with her statement, Misa Bharti is making her father's 'pratigya' laughable.
Talking to reporters after joining the new party, he said that whoever RLD goes with, will win in this general election.
During his interaction with the opinion leaders, the chief minister made an appeal for votes in favour of Chandan Chauhan, the joint candidate of RLD and BJP for the Bijnor, Om Kumar for the Nagina, and Kunwar Singh Tanwar for the Amroha Lok Sabha seat.
