No realignment with Nitish Kumar, his time is up: Tejashwi Yadav
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday dismissed speculations of a realignment with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, claiming that the time was up for the «tired» JD(U) president. Yadav lost his job as the deputy chief minister in January when Kumar abruptly returned to the BJP-led NDA.
Talking to reporters in Banka district, the RJD leader challenged him to use his clout with the Centre to get a caste census done besides securing special status for the state and a relief package for areas devastated by recent floods.
«The question (of joining hands with Nitish Kumar) does not arise. His time is up. He is tired and no more able to govern Bihar», said Yadav, now the leader of the opposition, in reply to a query as to whether he was ready for a realignment if the offer came from the JD(U) supremo.
Notably, Yadav's party, headed by his father Lalu Prasad, has had two partnerships, both short-lived, with the JD(U). The two parties first allied in 2015, when the coalition registered a spectacular victory in the assembly polls, though Kumar went back to the NDA two years later.
Yadav noted that the BJP, which now does not have a majority in Lok Sabha, was «dependent» on JD(U) to hold on to power.
