In fresh trouble for the ruling NDA in Bihar, State BJP president Sanjay Jaiswal has squarely blamed alliance partner JD(U) of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the less than satisfactory condition of higher education in the province.
Mr. Jaiswal also termed as "laughable" the contention of JD(U) that there should be a "punarvichaar" (rethink) on the Agnivpath scheme of recruitment in the armed forces which last week left the State in throes of violent protests.
The BJP leader made the remarks on Wednesday, a day before a video of the same went viral on social media, at the remote Raxaul town falling under his Pashchim Champaran Lok Sabha constituency.
