India News: Vajpayee-Advani era is over
- 5 years ago
India News: The National Democratic Alliance is coping with the bitter end to the 17-year-old alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal United. Both the parties are blaming each other as Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has sacked all 11 BJP ministers in his Cabinet and will seek a trust vote this week.
"The alliance is no more beneficial to either of the parties. So, we have decided to part ways," said JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav said. Nitish Kumar ended his 17-year-old alliance with the BJP and making it clear that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's elevation has filled the JD(U) with apprehension about the future of the alliance, also accusing the BJP of succumbing to the 'autocratic personality cult' with no respect for democratic process.
"The alliance took a direction that we disagreed with. It was very clear the manner in which the announcement was made," Nitish said.
Speaking to reporters in Patna, Nitish Kumar blamed the BJP for the end of 17-year-old alliance.
"Our parting ways from the NDA is BJP's failure. You created a situation in which the old allies walked away. An alliance does not run under compulsion," Nitish said.
The Vajpayee-Advani era in the BJP is over and we can't reconcile with the new leadership, the Bihar chief minister said defending JD(U)'s decision to end the relationship over Modi's elevation.
Taking a dig at the BJP, Nitish called it a party which betrayed its seniors.
