As Nitish Kumar snapped ties with BJP, LJP (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan Tuesday slammed the Bihar chief minister for insulting the people’s mandate once again and demanded the imposition of President’s Rule in the state followed by fresh elections.
Paswan also came out in support of the BJP amid the political turmoil in Bihar and said the saffron party had accepted everything that Kumar wanted as chief minister and even compromised on its own policies.
“Nitish Kumar has once again insulted the people’s mandate. He has lost his credibility… Is it a joke? At one time you go with somebody and the other time with someone else,” Paswan told reporters here.
“I request the governor to recommend the imposition of President’s Rule in the state. Elections should be held for a fresh mandate,” the Jamui MP added.
Paswan alleged that Kumar has quit the NDA to join hands with the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) of the opposition parties “once again” just to achieve his personal ambitions.
