Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday said the BJP was left with no allies in the Hindi heartland after JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar severed ties with the saffron party in Bihar.
“BJP crushes its allies. But now BJP is left with no allies in Hindi heartland. Together with Nitish Kumar ji, we will work in the interest of Bihar, nation, poor people and suppressed people,” Mr. Yadav told reporters outside the Raj Bhavan here.
Mr. Yadav, along with Mr. Kumar and leaders of other allied parties, had gone to the Raj Bhavan with a letter of support of 164 MLAs to meet Governor Phagu Chouhan to stake claim to form the next government in the State.
