NEW DELHI: Congress MP Pappu Yadav on Tuesday alleged that the BJP-led NDA is sidelining Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and not giving him due respect. He added that only the Congress party would stand by Kumar.Speaking to reporters, Pappu commented on the political dynamics within the alliance, claiming that Nitish Kumar would not remain with the NDA after the upcoming elections.
“The way BJP and Chirag Paswan have isolated Nitish Kumar to maintain their strike rate, I don’t think Nitish Kumar will remain in the NDA after the elections. Only Congress will give Nitish Kumar the respect he deserves,” Pappu said.He added, “The whole public stands with the INDIA bloc, and they will blindly give their support to the INDIA bloc. The people are united. When the public is united, they will bring everyone together, so don’t worry.”Nitish Kumar, known for his frequent political realignments, remains the NDA’s chief ministerial face in the upcoming Bihar elections. Despite being the longest-serving chief minister, he appears keen on holding on to his position.Bihar will vote in two phases — on November 6 and November 11 — with counting scheduled for November 14.
