Sushil Modi pointed out that Nitish Kumar had organised an event where everyone seemed to be "projecting themselves as contenders".
Taking a jibe at the opposition leaders who are scheduled to meet in Patna today to forge a united Opposition front to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sushil Modi said, "Ye Jo Baraat Lagi Hai, Usme Sabhi Dulhe Hain, Baraati Koi Nahi hai (This is a wedding procession in which everyone is a groom, but there are no guests)".
He pointed out that Nitish Kumar had organised an event where everyone seemed to be "projecting themselves as contenders".
"Nitish Ji ne aisi baraat lagaai hai, jisme sab dulhe hain. Everyone is busy making others accept their conditions. (Arvind) Kejriwal has threatened that he would not attend the meeting until the Congress announced cooperation on the ordinance issue. It is possible that some consensus has also been reached," Mr Modi said.
Sushil Modi also questioned whether Mr Kejriwal would be willing to share seats with the Congress in Delhi and Punjab, despite attending the opposition meeting.
