JDU working president Sanjay Jha has made a big claim. Attacking the opposition parties, he has blamed Arvind Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee for the break in the India Alliance. He said that Nitish Kumar had brought everyone on one platform but when there was no unity nor any vision among its allies regarding going to the elections, they decided to separate.
When he was asked that the first meeting of India Block was held in Nitish Kumar’s house in Patna in 2023. Why did he go out after some time? On this, JDU leader Sanjay Jha said, “Two men have destroyed this India Alliance.” Their names are Mamta Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal.
‘Where those people are in politics today is in front of everyone’
He further said, ‘A consensus was reached in the India Block. I am not saying that Nitish Kumar was a projected candidate for the post of Prime Minister. A consensus was reached but in the meeting both of them said that there should be a Dalit convener. It should be Mallikarjun Kharge Saheb. By saying this he also put Congress on the backfoot. Where those people stand in politics today is in front of everyone.
Nitish Kumar had brought everyone on one platform – Sanjay Jha
While talking to Indian Express, Sanjay Jha said, “It was not at all true that Nitish Kumar ji had to become a convener. He had his own credibility regarding this alliance. He was roaming everywhere, talking to other leaders. Brought everyone on one platform. But by speaking like that in the meeting, Congress went on the backfoot.
‘Mamata Banerjee and Kejriwal ended India Alliance’
He also said, “We again saw that there is no plan in this alliance as to how we will go into the transition. There was no unity anywhere. We regional parties felt that Congress keeps doing its politics in one or two states and it does not make much difference to it. I personally feel that Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal have destroyed the India Alliance.
Why did JDU form alliance with NDA?
When he was asked that India Alliance was formed against BJP but later why JDU formed alliance with NDA. On this question, Sanjay Jha said, “In Bihar you will have to work in some alliance or the other.” It is true that Nitish Kumar ji had an important role in forming India Alliance but when he felt that it was neither moving nor had any vision, he decided to part ways.
We had no other option – Sanjay Jha
He also said that it does not work just by opposing Modi ji and BJP. You too will take some of your viewpoint among the people. Nitish Kumar tried a lot. We went with BJP to work as a regional party in Bihar because we had no other option, this is the truth and we are working together in Bihar.
