New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday lashed out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that the Bihar Chief Minister was once a respected leader but now he is working as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah’s servant.
The statement came in the backdrop of Nitish Kumar’s decision to break the grand alliance with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress.
Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said, “Many leaders in the party are tensed because of Nitish’s decision. The way he switched sides was astonishing. Nobody has ever done such an act before. He has crushed his morality. He has become a weak chief minister. There was a time when he was a respected leader, but now he is working as Amit Shah’s servant. So, I believe that all the respected JD-U leaders will leave the party.”
Nitish and senior rebel JD-U leader Sharad Yadav are at loggerheads since the grand alliance was broken in Bihar.
However, the BJP said that it has no concern with what Yadav does, as he has adopted negative politics and will face the consequences in the long run.
“We know that Janata Dal (United) is led by Nitish Kumar ji and this party is an ally of the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). What other leaders do and say is not our concern. Sharad Yadav is getting isolated because he has adopted negative politics and negative politics does not work in the long run,” BJP leader Sudhesh Verma said.
Yadav recently launched ‘Sanjhi Virsasat Bachao Manch’ to oppose alleged divisive politics of the BJP and will be holding a similar programme today.
Meanwhile, Kumar later today will be holding party’s national executive meeting in Patna.
