Union Minister Prakash Javadekar attacks Chirag Paswan

NEW DELHI: The BJP has finally come out in the open to lash out at the LokJanshakti Party (LJP), its ally at the Centre, with the Bihar election heating up in which BJP ally JD (U) is pitted against the LJP in a direct contest. Union Minister Prakash Javadekar alleged that ChiragPaswan is in fact "trying to mislead people" and called the LJP a "vote-cutter".

"ChiragPaswan has chosen a separate path in Bihar. Now he is trying to mislead people by taking names of senior BJP leaders," Javadekar alleged while addressing the media on Friday.

Javadekar added that the BJP does not have "any B or C or D team". He went on to say that ChiragPaswan's LJP, which decided to go solo in the state, will be reduced to a "vote-cutter party".

The LJP has been locked in an acrimonious war of words with Nitish Kumar's JD(U) with its ally reportedly upset about the BJP not attacking the LJP.

The Union minister exhibited confidence that the NDA will get a three-fourth majority in the upcoming election. (IANS)
