Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday denied the claim by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Shyam Rajak that as many as 17 JD(U) MLAs were in touch with the RJD.
“There is no such thing. All these claims are baseless”, said Nitish Kumar, when asked by a section of media about the Opposition party’s claim. Earlier, Mr. Rajak had stirred a political controversy by claiming that the legislators were in touch with the RJD. “But, we’re waiting for some more to come as JD(U) has a total of 43 members in the State assembly,” he said. “Many JD(U) MLAs are upset with the way BJP has been dominating the ruling alliance in the State and taking decisions,” added the RJD leader, who was a Minister in the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government.
