Bihar politics: ‘May continue to disagree with Nitish Kumar…,’ says Chirag Paswan ahead of oath-taking ceremony
NDA government would be formed again in Bihar. I have said this before that I disagree with Nitish Kumar over his policies and it would continue if we continue to work over his policies," Chirag Paswan said.
The remarks by Chirag Paswan are significant as before leaving the NDA in 2022, Nitish Kumar expressed his displeasure with BJP's equation with Lok Janshakti Party leader. The Bihar Chief Minister blamed Chirag Paswan's party for JD(U)'s dismal performance in the Bihar Legislative Assembly Elections in 2020.
After leaving the Opposition INDIA bloc and going back to NDA ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, JD(U) on Sunday blamed Congress for stealing the leadership of the Opposition alliance. JD(U) leader KC Tyagi alleged that West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee was made to announce Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge as the Prime Ministerial face of the INDIA bloc.
"Congress wanted to steal the leadership of the INDIA alliance. In the meeting that took place on December 19, through a conspiracy, to get the leadership of the INDIA alliance, Mallikarjun Kharge's name was proposed (as PM face)…earlier, in the meeting that took place in Mumbai, it was unanimously decided that without any PM face, INDIA alliance will work," the senior leader said.
“Through a conspiracy, Mamata Banerjee was made to propose Kharge's name as PM face...all other parties have made their own identity by fighting against the Congress...Congress kept dragging the seat sharing, we kept saying that seat sharing needs to happen immediately...INDIA lacked plans to fight against BJP," KC Tyagi added.
