“They [BJP] are brainless [ Buddhihin] people. Tell him [Samrat Choudhary] to do what he said. I have never used such words in my entire political career. No sensible politicians use such words. I have also worked with Atal Bihari Vajpayee, I have a lot of respect for him”.
The State BJP president had said at a function in Patna on Saturday that Nitish Kumar had “backstabbed” the BJP and joined hands with RJD chief Lalu Prasad to “pursue’ his prime ministerial ambitions.
“With the help of the BJP, Nitish Kumar became the chief minister five times. Now the JD(U) will bite the dust... BJP will grind Nitish Kumar into dust in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls as well as the Assembly elections in Bihar in 2025”.
Mr. Kumar had dumped the BJP and formed the ‘ Mahagathbandhan’ government with RJD, Congress and other parties in August 2022.
