Patna, August 10, 2022 (PPI-OT):Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) only knows how to divide people on communal lines and its agenda shouldn’t be allowed to be implemented in Bihar.
Talking to reporters after a meeting with governor, he said, “The chacha-bhatija (uncle-nephew) government is back, and we will take Bihar to newer heights,” RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav – set to be Nitish Kumar’s deputy again – said, calling Nitish Kumar “the most experienced CM in the country.”
“The BJP only knows how to divide people on communal lines,” Yadav said. Nitish Kumar met the Governor, accompanied by Tejashwi Yadav and other Opposition leaders, to state that they should be invited to form the next government based on their combined strength after Kumar Tuesday resigned as Chief Minister of the government which consisted of his party, the Janata Dal United or JDU, and the BJP.
“Look at what it does to allies. It tries to finish them off. Look at Punjab, or Maharashtra. And they were trying to do that in Bihar too.” Speaking to reporters, Yadav underlined that his father Lalu Prasad Yadav, as chief minister, had arrested BJP’s LK Advani and stopped his ‘Rath Yatra’ during the Ayodhya-Ram Temple movement. Tejashwi Yadav said BJP chief JP Nadda, during a recent Patna visit, spoke of “finishing off regional parties”.
“How can he say such a thing in Bihar, the motherland of democracy? He wants to finish off all Opposition, which means finishing off democracy,” said Yadav. “All of us wanted the BJP’s agenda shouldn’t be implemented in Bihar,” Yadav said.
