Creating a buzz in the national politics once again in a week, Union Minister of State for HRD and NDA ally Upendra Kushwaha has alleged that “some people in NDA do not want to see Narendra Modi as Prime Minister”, reported Economic Times. He added that these people are spreading “misleading news”.

When asked about who these people were, he refused to divulge any names. Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) chief told the media, “In NDA (National Democratic Alliance), there are some people who don’t want Modiji to become the Prime Minister again. Such people intentionally spread rumours to trigger conflicts within the NDA”, reported ET.

He also rebuffed the reports of the media claiming that an arrangement has been made between the BJP and its allies in Bihar deciding the seat sharing for the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections. RLSP supremo said, “No talks of seat sharing have taken place in Bihar. In the news reports that I have come across, senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi and Ram Vilas Paswan’s party (LJP) have also made it clear that the talks are still pending”, Deccan Chronicle quoted him as saying.

Upendra Kushwaha was a JD(U) leader till 2014, after which he left the party and formed his own outfit before the Lok Sabha polls in that year. Since then his relations with JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar are contrived. JD(U) is also a BJP ally.

His statements earlier this week has caused a huge stir in the media when he had said that “kheer” can be prepared with milk from the Yadavs and rice from the Kushwahas.

Kushwaha had said at a function in Bihar, “We will get the sugar from Brahmins, Tulsi from Choudharyji (RLSP Bihar chief Bhudev Choudhary) and can make delicious kheer with the dry-fruits from the extremely backward classes and Dalits and Dastarkhan from the house of our minority community. Then we can relish the delicious kheer together,” reported News18.

Defending his “kheer” statement, Union Minister said, “Our party will launch a social movement paigam-e-kheer in Patna from September 25”, adding that his “kheer theory” was ‘blown out of proposition’.
