Janata and Janata. Dal (States).

LJP blames JD (U), says Nitish Kumar’s departure confirmed
Earlier, LJP also issued a statement blaming JD (U) for the misstep and alleging that Nitish Kumar was afraid of losing the Bihar polls. “Now Nitish Kumar is convinced that he is going to lose the polls. If a match has to be played, you have to film videos. What do the people of JD (U) want to prove by publishing this video? This video was filmed for The Manifesto of the game.

In Bihar, subject to polls, Paswan has been deliberately making statements to suggest that his party has a tacit understanding with the BJP. While he has vehemently praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has gone so far as to claim that he is the Prime Minister’s ‘Hanuman’, he has been criticizing Nitish Kumar, the face of the BJP-JD (U) CM in the state. However, the BJP has clarified that the party has no ties to the LJP.
