The frosty relationship between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally in Bihar, the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), was visible in the Lok Sabha on Thursday when BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy and JD(U) leader Rajiv Ranjan sparred over the Bihar Government’s utilisation of funds under the Jal Jeevan Mission.
Posing a supplementary question to Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat during the Question Hour, Mr. Rudy asked the Minister why the State government had not utilised funds allocated by the Central government to provide drinking water to every household through taps.
