Sharad Yadav said mandate by people was not for violation after Nitish Kumar broke the great alliance to align with NDA. He said he doesn’t agree with his decision and called it unfortunate.
Last week, Bihar chief minister Nitish left the ‘grand alliance’ and allied with the BJP. He claimed his move was inspired by “conscience” as he couldn’t possibly support RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his son who was deputy CM, Tejashwi Yadav, following their being named in a CBI corruption case.
Maintaining a stoic silence, JD(U) chief, Sharad Yadav had given plenty of indications that he is displeased, by taking to Twitter to lambast his party’s new ally, the BJP, for not taking action against black money and against those implicated in the Panama Papers. He has even tweeted about all this.
The RJD’s chief, Lalu Prasad Yadav has extended an invitation to Sharad Yadav, urging him to lead the battle against the BJP in Bihar.
Not only Sharad Yadav but others are also displeased by Nitish’s decision. JD(U)’s Rajya Sabha MPs Veerendra Kumar and Ali Anwar has openly criticised Nitish’s move to break away from the ‘grand alliance’. They also met with Sharad Yadav in Delhi following the break-up of the ‘grand alliance’.
