“Kumar stands totally exposed for giving up his principle by taking help of the Congress and the RJD to ensure survival of the fragile JD(U) government ahead of the trust vote by the Jitan Ram Manjhi government tomorrow,” Modi told reporters.
He, however, said that he was not at all surprised at Nitish Kumar's u-turn. He had known about Kumar's collusion with the Congress and RJD earlier as the former chief minister had called on the Congress president's political secretary, Ahmed Patel, to seek support of his party's four MLAs to the JD(U) government soon after parting ways with the BJP in June last year.
Modi dared these three parties to form a grand alliance for the Assembly polls due in November, next year and claimed that the proposed alliance would bite the dust once again as the people of Bihar did not want the return of the RJD's ‘jungle raj' at any cost.
