Spurned Bihar BJP refers to cancelled Nitish Kumar dinner: highlights

New Delhi:
  • This is a betrayal of the mandate of the people of Bihar
  • We did not object to Nitish Kumar cancelling dinner when Narendra Modi came to Bihar in the larger interests of the state
  • We did not want to let Lalu Yadav come back in Bihar; so we decided to continue with the alliance at any cost
  • We have no information on Advaniji speaking to Rajnath Singh; I can't comment on source based news
  • If we had the same ideology, what is the need for an alliance?
  • Alliances are based on a common minimum program. We kept controversial issues like Ramjanmabhoomi separate.
  • Nobody is enemy in politics. I have worked with Lalu Yadav, I've also worked with Nitish Kumar.
  • Who forms the government will get clear in the near future, but we won't let Lalu come back to power.
