New Delhi: After the political breakup of JD-U with BJP, now these two parties are looking at each other as they are the main opponent and foe to each other. Now Nitish Kumar, CM of Bihar had clarify the reason of withdraw its party’s alliance by saying in an interview on a news channel on Friday, “We did not betray the BJP. Charges that I am an opportunist are baseless. We joined NDA only after assurance that contentious issues like Ram temple, non-imposition of Article 370 and Uniform Civil Code will be put on hold.”
Nitish Kumar dismissed the charge of being an opportunist and of betraying the BJP. He said JD-U quit NDA as the saffron party did not keep its word about putting on hold contentious issues and not projecting leaders who cannot expand the coalition.
Kumar said that their party had made it clear to BJP that it should not project a leader who can’t expand the alliance.
Nitish Kumar also comment on Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi without saying his name, “We had conveyed our apprehensions to the BJP. We had told BJP not to name a leader without consulting allies. The new BJP model cannot carry everyone along. BJP has deviated and taken a different position.”
Kumar also said by criticizing Gujarat model, “There are different growth models for different states. We developed Bihar which was underdeveloped. Growth should not be of corporate but of underprivileged.”
