JD(U)-BJP rift widens in Bihar

JD(U) leaders’ tweets to the Prime Minister anger State BJP chief Sanjay Jaiswal

Rift between Bihar’s ruling alliance partners appeared to have widened on Monday with the BJP issuing a stern warning to the JD(U) on its leaders’ tweets to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A day earlier, the State BJP president and party leaders had questioned the government’s liquor policy and demanded a “serious review”.

“We all have to be within limits in the alliance. It cannot be one-sided any more. And, the first condition is that you [JD-U leaders] cannot play Twitter-Twitter with the country’s Prime Minister as he is the pride of every BJP worker. If you raise questions with him, then 76 lakh BJP workers in Bihar know how to respond. I do believe that we all will be careful in future,” Bihar BJP chief Sanjay Jaiswal said in a long post on social media on Monday.
