Congress erred in going it alone in Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh: JD(U)
Patna, Dec 4 (PTI) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) on Monday asserted that the Congress, its junior ally in the state, made a mistake by going it alone in assembly elections for Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and not having a truck with partners in the INDIA coalition.
JD(U) chief spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar also blamed the defeat of the Congress in these states on its failure to effectively counter the BJP’s alleged politics of “sectarian frenzy”.
“It makes no sense to say you have an alliance at the national level but you wish to contest separately in states. Merely holding meetings, with nothing to show on the ground, makes the INDIA coalition appear too artificial to resonate with the people,” said the JD(U) leader, whose party had fought five seats in MP, as many as another disgruntled partner Samajwadi Party.
