After Nitish’s resignation, JD(U) tries to woo Lalu Prasad for ‘secular alliance’ in Bihar

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 17 Mei 2014 | 22.44

NEW DELHI/PATNA: Janata Dal (United) chief Sharad Yadav on Monday sent feelers to rival Lalu Prasad that his party was willing to work with the latter's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) to forge out a "secular alliance" to govern Bihar.

This comes in the wake of the resignation of Nitish Kumar as chief minister of Bihar following the drubbing JD(U) received in the Lok Sabha election. JD(U), which had 20 seats in the 15th Lok Sabha, has been reduced to just two after this election. Bihar has 40 Lok Sabha seats.

'Secular alliance'

According to a PTI report, Sharad Yadav said the JD(U) legislature party will meet on Sunday to elect a new chief ministerial candidate. He said a new government will be formed in Bihar and it will be led by the JD(U).

Sending a message to RJD chief Lalu Prasad, the JD(U) chief said that his party is ready to sink differences with Prasad for forming "secular alliance" government in Bihar.

Nitish resigns

Earlier on Saturday, a day after his party JD(U)'s poor show in the Lok Sabha elections, Nitish Kumar resigned as Bihar chief minister. His resignation has come amid reports of dissent in the party following the poor show in the general elections.

Addressing reporters, Nitish Kumar said he has resigned taking the full responsibility of his party's poor show in the election.

The resignation comes just hours after LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan asserted that the Nitish Kumar government would fall within two to three months and mid-term assembly polls would be held in October-November this year.

"Nitish Kumar government will not last long," Paswan said had said on Friday after results of general elections were announced.

"Nitish Kumar should resign soon on moral grounds after the major debacle of his party in the polls," LJP parliamentary board chairman Chirag Paswan had told reporters.

The CM's resignation was on the cards since the reports of his party's near washout started pouring in on Friday.

Nitish Kumar also posted a one-line post on Facebook: "I respect the people's verdict."

BJP leaders who were in highly upbeat mood over the unexpected victory had started demanding CM's resignation. Senior BJP leader Sushil Modi had said Nitish should quit on moral grounds.
