PATNA: Leader of opposition in state assembly Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Wednesday advised Jamui MP Chirag Paswan to decide whether he wanted to stay with those who believed in “Bunch of Thoughts (a book written by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s second chief M S Golwalkar)” or the ones who were trying to protect the Constitution of the country framed by Dr B R Ambedkar.
“It is for Chirag to choose between the two,” Tejashwi told mediapersons at the airport here.
Tejashwi’s statement came a day after Chirag’s concern over BJP’s silence over the high-voltage drama in LJP.
Chirag had said on Tuesday that he was expecting BJP’s intervention in ending the crisis in the LJP.
He had also reminded BJP of the days when he and his late father Ram Vilas Paswan stood firmly with it after the JD(U) left the NDA.
Meanwhile, Tejashwi also accused CM Nitish Kumar of engineering split in the LJP.
“Nitish is the mastermind of the split in LJP.
He had tried to break the party in 2005 and 2010 as well.
In 2010, when LJP neither had any MP or an MLA, my father Lalu Prasad made Ram Vilas Paswanji a Rajya Sabha member on RJD’s quota,” Tejashwi said.
Tejashwi also lashed out at Nitish over various issues like inflation, price rise, flood and Covid-19.
Asked about the questions being raised by the ruling party leaders about his long absence from Bihar, he said, “I am also a son and everyone is aware that my father is not keeping well.” Tejashwi said the RJD supremo would come to Patna in a few days.
