"BJP will be part of any JD(U) initiative"

By Gargi Parsai

NEW DELHI, APRIL 11. Senior Janata Dal (United) leader, Nitish Kumar, today said that any JD (U) initiative to form a government in Bihar would henceforth be with the Bharatiya Janata Party, their pre-poll alliance partner.

He said that his recent move to form a "minus BJP" government in Bihar with 120 MLAs (two short of the majority) had not yielded results but the process of government formation had not been given up.

Speaking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the JD (U) National Executive meeting here, he said that the Lok Jan Shakti Party, the CPI and the CPI (ML) leaders had responded to his move in the negative. The Samajwadi Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party, and the Nationalist Congress Party leaders, whom he had met, had not responded. Only the 17 Independent MLAs pledged their support to the move. "That is why I declared on April 9 in Patna that my initiative for a non-BJP government in Bihar was over."
