RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday said, with the split of the NDA in Bihar, the BJP does not have any alliance partner across the Hindi heartland. He said all parties and members of the Bihar Legislative Assembly, except the BJP, have accepted Nitish Kumar as their leader.
Yadav was addressing the media along with Kumar after the Janata Dal (United) leader staked claim to form the next government in Bihar with the support of seven parties after he broke alliance with BJP and resigned as chief minister. Kumar said there are seven parties including RJD who are supporting him.
“Across the Hindi heartland, the BJP does not have any alliance partner, history tells that the BJP destroys the parties with whom it forms an alliance. We did see that happening in Punjab and Maharashtra," Yadav said.
Yadav added, “Nobody can take the legacy of our ancestors...We thank Nitish Kumar as well as Laluji...All of us wanted BJP's agenda shouldn't be implemented in Bihar, we all know Laluji stopped 'Rath' of Advaniji, we won't relent at any cost."
