The issue of participation in the Center is the reason for leaving the BJP: Nitish

[ad_1]
Digital Desk, Patna. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday hit out at the Narendra Modi government and said that the issue of equal participation at the Center was one of the reasons for the separation from the BJP in the state.
Kumar said, when the 2019 Lok Sabha elections ended and Narendra Modi formed the government at the Centre, JD-U had 16 MPs and the BJP had 17 MPs from Bihar in the Lok Sabha. We had demanded at least 4 cabinet ministers. But the BJP refused. I told him that BJP has 17 MPs from Bihar and it is giving ministerial posts to 5 MPs and alloting only 1 to JD-U. So, we refused to take a ministry at the Centre.
Kumar told the BJP, “I told them (BJP top leadership) that you are making five MPs from Bihar as Union ministers and giving us a proposal as to what (communal atmosphere) would you like to create in Bihar.”
“During the 2020 assembly elections, we helped BJP candidates win and they did not support us. Those JD(U) candidates who lost the 2020 assembly elections said that they lost the election because of BJP workers campaigning against them. Even the victors said that BJP workers did not support them. The BJP stabbed us in the back during the 2020 assembly elections.
Responding to RCP Singh, Kumar said: I gave that person my seat of national president and see what he did to us. He started anti-party activities. I authorized him to hold talks with the BJP during the second expansion of Narendra Modi. Government and he put the interests of the party aside and became a Union Minister on his own. I did not allow him to take only one ministerial post at the Centre. At that point, I decided to just give them 6 months and then they would be removed.
“When he became a Union minister, I asked him to give the post of national president to Lalan Singh,” Kumar said. I sent him to Rajya Sabha twice and he was involved in anti-party activities and working for BJP. I gave him a lot of respect and he is making inappropriate and objectionable statements against me. My party workers are saddened to see his objectionable statements.
Responding to the allegation that Sushil Modi was not given Z+ security despite being the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar for 12 years, Kumar said Modi’s allegation was baseless.
“We have given them whatever they want,” he said. Even after the 2020 assembly election, I wanted him to stay in Bihar and become deputy chief minister again but his party brought him to Delhi. I was thinking that he might get an important responsibility but his party sidelined him. Now he is leveling allegations against me. I don’t care about his allegations.
