During Bihar trust vote, the JD(U) chief who once shunned Narendra Modi citing “politics of communalism” speaks BJP language of minority appeasement for RJD
India News: Congress and opposition parties criticize Nitish Kumar's return to NDA. JD(U) and BJP defend alliance, accusing Congress of weakening regional parties
Tyagi claimed that the Mumbai joint Opposition meeting initially decided to contest the Lok Sabha elections without a designated Prime Ministerial face. However, during the December 19 meeting in Delhi, he alleged that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's name was proposed as the PM face "through a conspiracy."
The decision taken about Kharge at the INDIA bloc meeting earlier this month had shocked the JD(U), which believed that its president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would be named as the convenor without being saddled with any chairperson, said KC Tyagi.
