Top leaders of the Congress, the Left, Samajwadi Party, BSP, TMC and other parties opposed to the BJP have been invited to the programme
JD(U) today said Sharad Yadav has "voluntarily left" the party and rejected his claim of a split in it, asserting that almost every office bearer and all MLAs are with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The leaders suspended are believed to be part of a faction that had extended support to Yadav, who has opposed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's decision to tie up with the BJP
Sharad Yadav is set to present his faction as the "real" JD(U) claiming that many of its state units are with him while the support for party president Nitish Kumar is confined to Bihar.
Meanwhile, BJP president Amit Shah today said in a tweet that he had invited Kumar to formally join the NDA.
Ali Anwar Ansari said the faction led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has become a ‘Sarkari JD(U)’.
Sharad Yadav refused to say anything on the JD(U) decision to replace him as the parliamentary party leader on Saturday. Yadav said when he had "not been afraid of Indira Gandhi, what do others matter".
Differences between Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav surfaced after the former snapped ties with the Congress and the RJD, and allied with the BJP to form a new government in Bihar last month.
Kumar’s remark comes in backdrop of Yadav expressing his displeasure over the Chief Minister’s decision to walk out of the Grand Alliance and join ranks with the BJP to form government in the state.
Party sources said that CM Nitish Kumar was unhappy with Yadav over his public remarks expressing his reservations with the developments that transpired last month.
Yadav's greetings to Patel assumes significance because the JD(U) had asked its lone MLA in Gujarat, Chhotu Vasava, to vote in favour of BJP's Balwantsinh Rajput. However, Vasava said that he voted for Congress' nominee Ahmed Patel.
The JD(U) today targeted former party president Sharad Yadav for his opposition to party’s alliance with the BJP in Bihar.
Sharad Yadav's aide Vijay Verma said the JD(U) leader is in touch with old friends and forming a new party is one of the options.
Sharad Yadav said that Nitish breaking away from the Congress-JD(U-RJD) Grand Alliance and allying with the BJP and the NDA went against the “mandate by the people” who voted overwhelmingly for the former
RJD chief Lalu Prasad today appealed to former JD(U) president Sharad Yadav to undertake a nationwide tour to defeat "communal" forces that have fanned out in the country.
The series of tweets by Yadav came hours after he received an invitation from RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav to lead the battle against the BJP in Bihar
Quizzed over the happenings in the political landscape in Bihar, Yadav refused to comment on the developments, but hinted that ‘it will send a wrong message among people of Bihar’.
