Ahead of the Lok Sabha election with seat-sharing talks under way in both ruling and Opposition parties, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday declared that the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has no scope in the State and that the party has become “nervous” in the run-up to polls.
Sidelining the rumours of a rift within the Grand Alliance in Bihar, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader stressed that there is no question of “if and but” in the alliance. He pointed out that the Mahagathbandhan is united and working with full strength.
Mr. Yadav’s statement came in reply to the BJP leaders who have been claiming that the Mahagathbandhan will not be able to win a single seat and before the election, there would be a big split in the alliance. However, the Deputy CM showed a bold face after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar attended the Dahi-Chura fest organised by RJD supremo Lalu Prasad at 10, Circular Road residence on Monday.
