"We Followed Coalition Dharma": BJP's Giriraj Singh On Nitish Kumar
NDTV
"We have always followed the dharma of coalition and maintained the dignity of alliance," Giriraj Singh said.
The BJP has said it is going to Patna as it "can't do anything alone" shortly after Nitish Kumar told his party MLAs about his intention to split Bihar's ruling alliance. Mr Kumar, upset for long with the BJP, will be meeting the Governor at 4 pm. He will be accompanied by Tejashwi Yadav of Rashtriya Janata Dal and leaders of other parties supporting him, sources have said.
"This decision is Nitish-ji's decision," the BJP's Union minister Giriraj Singh told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
"We have always followed the dharma of coalition and maintained the dignity of alliance," Mr Singh said. "When we had 63 MLAs, he had 36, we made him the Chief Minister. Today Nitish seems to be shopping," he added.
The BJP had contacted Mr Kumar twice on Monday as the crisis erupted. Sources said Union Minister Amit Shah had dialled Mr Kumar from Delhi. In Patna, several key leaders of the BJP had visited his home.
