Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi today said, "Over 50 JD(U) legislators are in touch with the BJP because they are unhappy with Nitish Kumar. They are also helping BJP candidates in polls to ensure their victory," .He said,Nitish Kumar's government would fall due to internal contradictions after the end of Lok Sabha polls ".
Mr Modi also said most of JD(U)'s 116 legislators were against Mr Kumar's decision last year to end the alliance with BJP.However, he made it clear that the BJP would not do anything or make any attempt to cause the fall of the state government. "This government will fall due to its own contradictions," he said.
Earlier during campaigning in Bihar, BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan predicted that the Nitish Kumar government would fall after the Lok Sabha polls. Another senior BJP leader, Ashwani Kumar Choubey, said the state government would not survive after May 21.
INDIA HONEST warns that it is a serious test for JD(U, which has won 20 seats last time, that its MLAs are not supporting the party official candidates. If they are working in favour of BJP candidates, it will be setback for JD(U), and a clear win win for BJP in Bihar. This will make Modi's target of 300 plus look more reasonable as BJP has thrown much hope on the results from these two crucial states of Bihar and UP. in this election.
