Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday took a swipe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the decision of the Janata Dal(U) to contest “four or five seats” in the Gujarat Assembly polls and wondered why he was fighting a “losing” battle.
The Janata Dal (U) last week announced that it would contest its “traditional” four or five seats in Gujarat, and urged the Election Commission to reject the Sharad Yadav faction’s claim to the party symbol so that it can fight the election.
“Why is his party planning to contest the Gujarat polls? Can JD(U) win there? During the presidential elections, Nitish had urged the UPA not to fight a losing battle by insisting on putting up a candidate. Has he done away with his wisdom of that time,” he tweeted.
“If Nitish Kumar’s alliance with the BJP survives, his own party may end up with the same number of seats to fight in Bihar. Their unnatural alliance has become fully exposed before the common people,” he said.
