Patna, Aug 09:
Accusing
Nitish
Kumar
of
betraying
the
people
of
Bihar
and
the
BJP,
president
of
the
saffron
party’s
state
unit
Sanjay
Jaiswal
Tuesday
said
whatever
happened
today
is
a
betrayal
of
Bihar’s
people
&
the
BJP.

Addressing
a
presser
after
Nitish
Kumar
announced
to
walk
out
of
NDA,
BJP
said,
“We
fought
the
2020
polls
together
under
NDA,
the
mandate
was
for
JD-U
and
BJP.
We
won
more
seats
despite
that
Nitish
Kumar
was
made
the
Chief
Minister.
Whatever
happened
today
is
a
betrayal
of
Bihar’s
people
and
the
BJP.
Bihar
BJP
chief
Sanjay
Jaiswal,
who
was
present
in
the
press
conference,
said
people
of
the
state
will
not
tolerate
it.

Union
Minister
and
BJP
leader
RK
Singh
raised
questions
over
the
political
moves
of
former
Bihar
Chief
Minister
Nitish
Kumar
asking
how
the
JD(U)
leader
would
justify
an
alliance
with
the
Rashtriya
Janata
Dal
(RJD)
which
he
has
often
called
“corrupt”.

BJP
leader
and
Union
minister
Ashwini
Choubey
also
accused
Nitish
of
being
“opportunistic”
and
said
those
“betraying”
Bihar
want
to
create
obstacles
in
its
development.

Let’s
begin
a
new
chapter,
says
Nitish
Kumar
to
RJD’s
Tejashwi
Yadav

Earlier
in
the
day,
Nitish
met
Governor
Phagu
Chauhan
and
tendered
his
resignation
as
chief
minister
of
the
NDA
government
in
Bihar.
He
said
the
decision
to
sever
ties
with
the
NDA
was
taken
by
his
party,
the
JD(U).
Kumar
is
expected
to
form
a
fresh
government,
armed
with
the
support
of
the
entire
opposition,
including
the
RJD
and
the
Left
parties.
