BJP Waits For Nitish Kumar To Break Silence, Ask For Tejashwi’s Resignation: Sushil Modi

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Modi said today (14 July) that the saffron party is waiting for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to break his silence and ask for state Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav’s resignation.

Dubbing the reports of a split between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) as BJP-driven agenda and laughing it off, Yadav, earlier in the day, said people should not be perturbed by such reports about the mahagathbandhan.

Earlier, the JD(U) also denied any rift within the allies, maintaining that the alliance is working successfully.

Last week, the Central Bureau of Investigation registered a corruption case against Lalu Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi Yadav, former Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Managing Director P K Goyal and the wife of Lalu's confidante Prem Chand Gupta, Sujata, on allegations of awarding the tender for development, maintenance and operation of hotels in Ranchi and Puri in 2006.

The RJD supremo has refuted the allegations against him and called it a political conspiracy hatched by the BJP.
