The Congress on Saturday said that Bihar chief minister, Nitish Kumar, who was once a respected leader is now working as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah’s servant.
Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said, “Many leaders in the party are tensed because of Nitish’s decision. The way he switched sides was astonishing. Nobody has ever done such an act before. He has crushed his morality. He has become a weak chief minister. There was a time when he was a respected leader, but now he is working as Amit Shah’s servant. So, I believe that all the respected JD-U leaders will leave the party.”
Recently, Nitish broke the mahagathbandhan with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress to form the government with the BJP in Bihar.
Since this decision, Nitish and senior rebel JD(U) leader, Sharad Yadav are at loggerheads with each other.
Kumar will hold a party’s national executive meeting in Patna on Saturday, while, Yadav’s faction will simultaneously hold a separate meeting in the national capital
However, the BJP said that it has nothing to do with what Yadav does, as he has adopted negative politics and will face the consequences in the long run.
“We know that Janata Dal (United) is led by Nitish Kumar ji and this party is an ally of the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). What other leaders do and say is not our concern. Sharad Yadav is getting isolated because he has adopted negative politics and negative politics does not work in the long run,” BJP leader, Sudhesh Verma said.
Sharad Yadav recently launched ‘Sanjhi Virsasat Bachao Manch’ to oppose the alleged divisive politics of the BJP and will be holding a similar programme today.
