The BJP is “scared” of the JD(U)-Congress-RJD alliance in Bihar and wants to “break” it to derive political mileage in that State, an AICC functionary said here on Saturday.
“An anti-Modi wave is developing across the country and so the BJP is scared to face the coming Assembly polls in Bihar...Now the BJP is trying all ways to break the JD(U)-Congress-RJD alliance,” AICC spokesman Ajay Kumar said.
The BJP, he alleged, was pressurising an RJD MP, who is under the CBI scanner in connection with the coal scam, for the job. Mr. Kumar, a former MP from Jamshedpur, however, refused to divulge the MP’s name saying the issue was already out in a section of the media.
The Congress leader replied in positive when asked about the possibility of continuation of the alliance in the Bihar polls.
“There is no harm in contesting the Bihar Assembly poll under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is a good administrator. “Not only the RJD-JD(U)-Congress, we want all like-minded parties including the Left parties who are opposed to policies of the Modi government to come on a platform and contest the elections unitedly,” Mr. Kumar said.
On RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav for the top post in Bihar, the Congress leader said he was facing some legal problem but did not elaborate. - PTI
