PATNA: Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Friday refuted all the claims regarding the rift between Bihar chief minister and Janata Dal-United (JDU) supremo Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Lalu Prasad.
He said that these are efforts to do negative publicity by “certain media sections,” adding that the INDIA bloc is “strong together.”
“It was a very fruitful meeting (INDIA alliance) …Certain media sections cannot digest that there is such a big alliance and everybody is together. There are efforts to do negative publicity … We are strong and we are together. We have decided to defeat the BJP,” said Tejashwi Yadav.
Earlier today, the deputy chief minister reached the chief minister’s residence and met Nitish Kumar.
Many media reports claimed that Nitish Kumar was “unhappy” over the proposal to make Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge the prime ministerial candidate.
Following this, the Congress dismissed the same, stating that the meeting was concluded on a “good note.”
“The meeting went on for five to six hours. The meeting was crucial and effective. It was concluded on a good note. If some media reports are claiming that Nitish Kumarji was unhappy over the meeting, there might be some ‘vested interest’ but I reckon that he is the convener of the alliance and he will ensure that it reaches its destination”, said Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir.
The fourth meeting of the ‘Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc took place in the national capital on Tuesday.
West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee floated Mallikarjun Kharge’s name as the prime ministerial candidate of the mega alliance, however, some of the media reports claimed that Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Yadav were “unhappy” over the proposal and left the meeting early.
INDIA or ‘Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance’ is a group of opposition parties, including the Congress. The parties have come together to take on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which is led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and prevent it from winning a third straight term at the Centre in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The first meeting of the joint opposition convened in Patna on June 23 and the second meeting was held in Bengaluru on July 17-18. The third meeting happened in Mumbai on August 31-September 1.
In the Mumbai meeting, the opposition parties adopted resolutions to collectively contest the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections while announcing that seat-sharing arrangements would be finalized as soon as possible through a spirit of give-and-take.
He said that these are efforts to do negative publicity by “certain media sections,” adding that the INDIA bloc is “strong together.”
