“We have an agitation whose aim is to warn people against the conspiracy (conspiracy) of the BJP. The BJP has devised a plan to intensify the communal divide so that a large section of the population is in its favor and helps it retain power without achieving anything while ruling the Centre,” Kushwaha stated on the event. But advised reporters.
The march started with paying tributes to Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar at his statue put in close to the Patna High Court complicated, from the place 1000’s of JD(U) employees walked to the historic Gandhi Maidan, about two kilometers away.
“There is no alternative to Nitish Kumar. He is the pivot of the entire opposition,” stated JD(U) employees right here, who overtly lobbied for his or her chief as the following PM, although the septuagenarian insisted a number of occasions that he was “not in the race”. .
Notably, Kumar had stalled an alliance with the BJP lower than two months in the past, following fears that the saffron celebration was making an attempt to divide the JD(U).
The BJP is crying foul and accusing Kumar of “betraying” the mandate of the 2020 meeting elections to appreciate its ambitions.
Despite excluding himself from the race for the put up of Prime Minister, Kumar has been making an attempt to construct opposition unity Which he believes can defeat the BJP within the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
