New Delhi, July 31: Senior Janata Dal United (JDU) leader Sharad Yadav says he doesn’t agree with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s decision to break the alliance with Lalu Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress and go with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state as it goes against the mandate of the people of Bihar.
“I don’t agree with the decision in Bihar, it’s unfortunate. The mandate by the people was not for this,” said Sharad Yadav, who was JD(U) president until last October.
Observers said Sharad Yadav was upset with Kumar’s decision to resurrect the alliance with BJP in Bihar – an alliance that was split in 2013 after the BJP indicated that Narendra Modi would be named the prime ministerial candidate of the National Democratic Alliance. Breaking the Mahagatbandhan, a two-year-old political experiment in Bihar, Nitish Kumar said was inspired by “conscience” after RJD chief Lalu Yadav and his son Tejashwi, who was also Bihar’s Deputy chief minister was named by the Central Bureau of Investigation in a graft case.
