Sounding the poll bugle in Bihar, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP-JD(U) alliance in the state and called it opportunistic. He claimed that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar switches sides for chair only. Addressing the ‘Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ rally at the Dalsagar ground in Buxur, Kharge called on the voters to defeat the BJP and elect Mahagathbandhan to power this time.
The alliance between Nitish Kumar and the BJP is opportunistic. It is not good for the people of the state. Nitish Kumar switches sides just for chief minister’s post. The JD(U) chief has joined hands with the ideology that killed Mahatma Gandhi,” the Congress president claimed.
“Sometimes Nitish Kumar jumps the ship to join us. But when he is convinced that the BJP has better chances of winning, he again goes an sits in their lap,” he added
