| Nitish Kumar signals split with BJP | | | Agencies
Patna, June 14 : Ahead of its weekend review, the JD(U) on today gave clear signs yet again of an emerging split with BJP, saying there are problems and the situation is "difficult" even as a senior party leader lashed out at BJP.
Returning from a two-day 'seva yatra' for consultations with the JD(U) leadership tomorrow over the alliance issue, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said, "The situation is such that there are problems (in continuing the alliance)." "Dua dete hain jeene ki, dawa karte hain marne ki. Dushwari ka sabab yeh hain.
(They blessing is for life but the medicine is for death). That is the crux of the problem," he told reporters in Patna. He was replying to a question whether it is going to be the end of the 17-year alliance between JD(U) and BJP.
He said the situation is difficult and what is to be done in this difficult situation is being discussed by all.
"On the one hand, some are giving suggestions that it is such an old alliance that it should continue.
On the other hand, the conditions are such that there are problems," Kumar said. While party chief Sharad Yadav appeared hopeful of a rapprochement, sources in the party described the situation as "a point of no return". |
