“This is affront to the Mahadalit,” he added. Modi said though it was an internal matter of the JD(U) about its choice of legislature party leader and the next Chief Minister, Speaker Udai Narayan Choudhary and senior minister Ramai Ram - the two senior most leaders hailing from Dalit community - have been ignored.
He said the name of the new Chief Minister should have been ratified by the JD(U) MLAs before going to the Governor.
“Hence, we demand the Governor should insist on the parade of individual JD(U) MLAs to get convinced that Manjhi is the real choice of the party,” the senior BJP leader said.
