JDU paid price for delay in seat-sharing within NDA: Nitish Kumar ANI | Updated: Jan 09, 2021 20:50 IST
Patna (Bihar) [India], January 9 (ANI): Making an indirect attack at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday said that the seat distribution within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the recently concluded assembly elections should have been done five months prior to the poll, adding further that the Janata Dal (United) had to pay a price since it was not done. The seat distribution within the NDA should have been done five months prior to the elections but that was not done and as a result, JDU had to pay a big price for it. I was not in favour of becoming the chief minister but because of the pressure of BJP and my party, I agreed to assume the post, Kumar said at the JD(U) state council meeting.
On Wednesday there was a phone conversation between Gopal Mandal and Bihpur MLA E Shailendra in which it was alleged that Gopal Mandal was abusing and using casteist slur.
PATNA: “What the BJP does is known only after it is done,” was the
cryptic message of RJD leader Rabri Devi to the JD(U), as she took the opposition’s attempt to draw Nitish Kumar back into the Mahagatbandhan fold a notch higher on Friday. Hinting at a strong possibility of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar returning to the Grand Alliance, Rabri said that all the constituents of the opposition would discuss Nitish’s return when required.
Addressing reporters at her residence on Friday, Rabri doubted whether BJP could engineer a rerun of the Arunachal episode, wherein six JD(U) MLAs switched camp to join BJP. Rabri’s was the fresh salvo in the opposition’s attempt to draw Nitish away from the BJP. Earlier, RJD leaders, including Uday Narayan Chaudhary, invited Nitish Kumar to join Mahagatbandhan and support Tejashwi Yadav to stake claim to the chief minister’s seat in exchange of becoming the prime ministerial face of the Grand Alliance in the 2024 general election.
