BJP leaders say there is ‘resentment’ in the party over LJP’s stance. They also say if needed it will write to EC to stop non-NDA parties from using Modi’s photo in poll posters.
In the last assembly elections, the LJP won just two of the 42 seats it contested while many believe that Chirag himself is still a novice in politics.
At a parliamentary board meeting chaired by its president Chirag Paswan Sunday, LJP passed a resolution in favour of an alliance with BJP, which says it will contest Bihar polls under Nitish’s leadership.
After a meeting of party leaders, including Amit Shah and JP Nadda, BJP general secretary Bhupender Yadav said talks on seat-sharing arrangement will be finalised in a few days.
Paswan echoes BJP state unit, which has been pushing for more seats from the JD(U) even though the BJP high command has publicly backed CM Nitish Kumar.
Senior LJP leader Chirag Paswan rattles alliance saying his party is only an ally of the BJP and not JD(U), prompting JD(U) leaders to say they are better off without the LJP.
From the ruling coalition in Bihar, only 3 women candidates have been allotted Lok Sabha tickets- one each by alliance partners the BJP, JD(U) and the LJP.
