BJP slams JD-U for betrayal, calls for Bihar bandh on Tuesday
Patna: Accusing JD-U of betrayal, Bihar BJP on Sunday said that the party has got the repeated assurances by BJP that it would be consulted whenever the Prime Ministerial candidate is chosen.
He also took a dig at JD-U for its reservations on Narendra Modi saying, “Some people are unhappy that a person who does not belong to a dynasty, who is the son of a poor father who sold tea is rising.”
“When Nitish Kumar met BJP president Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley, he was assured that whenever a decision on the Prime Ministerial candidate will be taken, he will be consulted. Even when Narendra Modi was anointed as Election Campaign Committee head, JD-U said it is an internal matter of BJP. What happened in the last four days to change this?” Sushil Modi said.
He announced that BJP will organize a Bihar bandh on June 18 to protest against the “betrayal” of the JD-U. He said JD-U has betrayed the people of Bihar as they had voted for the NDA in the state.
Referring to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP leader said the person who is being called communal by JD-U will become secular after the 2014 election results.\
