“We intended to uproot Nitish from the state. Kushwaha, however, backed off and is now planning to join hands with the same Nitish. We are now joining RJD with the same commitment of dethroning Nitish. The momentum that we had earlier for RLSP will now throttle us to work under the leadership of Tejashwi and Jagadanand Singh for the uplift of those marginalised,” said Virendra Kushwaha, who joined RJD on Friday in the same sequence.
Speaking on the occasion, Tejashwi on Friday alleged that Nitish is a weak CM. He (Nitish) is busy saving ministers with criminal antecedents, Tejashwi alleged. He said Nitish had no control over crime and corruption. He also charged Nitish for distorting facts and misguiding Biharis on key issues.
