Kushwaha: Paswan must also leave NDA as BJP wants to destroy smaller parties

Rashtriya Lok Samta Party Chief Upendra Kushwaha on Wednesday, December 19, had hit out at BJP saying that it was arrogance of BJP and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar that he left the NDA. Kushwaha said that Bhartiya Janata Party has made up their mind to destroy smaller parties.

“The arrogance of BJP and Nitish Kumar was one of the reasons why we left NDA, others will also face the same arrogance. Lok Janshakti Party should also leave NDA as soon as possible. Otherwise, they’ve(BJP) made their mind to destroy the smaller parties,” said Upendra Kushwaha.

Earlier on Tuesday, LJP parliamentary board chairman Chirag Paswan expressed disappointment over “no headway” despite “a number of meetings with the BJP leadership” over the issue of seat-sharing in Bihar.

“No headway has been made on seat-sharing despite a number of meetings with leaders of the BJP. If things are not settled in time, it could prove to be damaging”, the LJP leader, whose father Ram Vilas Paswan is a member of the Union cabinet, said in a tweet.

Kushwaha, who has been at loggerhead with the JD(U) in Bihar resigned from the Modi cabinet, saying that the Modi government has failed to implement the idea of social justice.
