Nitish Kumar’s U-turn: KC Tyagi on JD(U) returning to BJP-led NDA | Mallikarjun Kharge | Oneindia
On JD (U) returning to BJP-led NDA, party leader KC Tyagi says," Coordination could not be established between INDIA parties. From the outside, everything appeared normal but Congress was doing politics with the alliance parties. While we were working to strengthen the alliance, Congress was busy grabbing the important posts. They were trying to weaken the SP, DMK, TMC and other regional parties. Once Rahul Gandhi said that regional parties don't have an ideology. Due to this, we broke our association with the alliance." On Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge saying JD (U)'s exit from INDIA alliance "pre-planned", KC Tyagi says, "If this was pre-planned, then why did we organise the first meeting of (INDIA parties) in Patna? Why did we bring Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Akhilesh Yadav with an 'achyut' party like you (Congress)? This happened after Mamata Banerjee in Delhi proposed Mallikarjun Kharge as INDIA alliance prime ministerial candidate. Congress party always wanted to grab this (PM) post." #NitishKumar #KCTyagi #KCTyagiNitishKumar #MallikarjunKharge #MallikarjunKhargeNitishKumar #CongressJD(U) #BiharCM #9thTimeOath #NDAReturn #RecordNineTimes #BiharLeadership #PoliticalMilestone #OathTakingCeremony #NDAAlliance #LeadershipContinuity #PoliticalHistory #BiharPolitics #GovernanceJourney #PoliticalMilestones #LeadershipLegacy #NitishKumarReturns #BiharDevelopment #CMOathCeremony #PoliticalAchievement #RecordBreakingLeadership ~HT.292~PR.152~ED.102~GR.121~
