Saswat Panigrahi
The BJP on Tuesday appeared to be hardening its stance towards
its carping ally, the JD(U). This follows Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
continuing with his harangue and his JD(U) colleague Shivanand Tiwari upping
the ante by naming Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
The kind of tantrum thrown
by the Bihar Chief Minister in the past weeks had left the BJP leadership
fuming. The BJP core group has decided not to go soft on Nitish Kumar if he
continues his attack on his Gujarat counterpart.
Having been a part of the
NDA journey since 1999, JD(U) is one of the oldest ally of the BJP. Today, when
2014 election is round the corner, it is Narendra Modi which made Nitish Kumar
a matter of worry.
Amid a growing clamor to
project Modi as BJP’s Prime Ministerial face, Nitish Kumar has issued a veiled
threat to snap ties with the saffron party.
