PATNA: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on July 2 claimed that the BJP is hatching a conspiracy to implement President’s rule in Bihar after assembly elections due later this year.
Elaborating it further, the RJD leader said that the BJP intended to form its own government after the Bihar assembly election. He, however, said that the situation was bound to change after the elections, and contended that the Union Home Minister would keep JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister only until the assembly elections.
“Close watchers of the State's situation hold a view that the BJP will impose President`s rule. A deep conspiracy is seemingly unfolding in Bihar as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning to impose the President`s rule in Bihar to take control of the State,” he claimed.
Tejashwi said the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended an event in Patna on Wednesday and claimed that the NDA would form the next government for the third time, heaping praise on CM Nitish.
“BJP is the largest party, but they have no face, and Amit Shah has made it clear that they will keep them only until the elections, after which things will change. The BJP's dominance will soon end," he asserted.
Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said that Bihar is the birthplace of democracy, and it will teach the BJP-RSS a lesson in the forthcoming elections.
RJD leader also took a potshot at the Election Commission over electoral roll revision, blaming the apex election body for taking away voting rights of the poor in the state.
"This is a significant issue as the rights of the poor and their voting rights are being taken away,” he added.
“Everyone is exposed, and one wonders why the Election Commission is unwilling to meet Opposition leaders. It is supposed to be an independent body, but it appears to be heaping praises of the BJP and RSS,” he said.
He also described the Election Commission as a ‘puppet in the hands of BJP-RSS’.
