NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar made the wrong choice by exiting the INDIA bloc and joining hands with the BJP-led NDA.
Speaking at a press conference, Kejriwal said that Nitish’s conduct is “not good for democracy”.
His remarks come a day after Nitish Kumar resigned as the chief minister of Bihar and formed a new government with BJP’s support.He took oath for a record 9th term.
“I feel this is wrong and he should not have left. Such conduct is not good for democracy,” Kejriwal said.
After quitting as Bihar CM, Nitish had said “things were not working well” for him in the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ or the grand alliance and the opposition bloc INDIA.
Nitish, who was harbouring prime ministerial ambitions, was reportedly unhappy over being sidelined in the INDIA bloc.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge was chosen as the leader of the bloc in a decision that was backed by Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal.
