With just a few weeks to go for the much-anticipated Bihar assembly elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Kumar Jha, while hinting at BJP’s move to betray Nitish Kumar, said that despite Chief Minister Nitish Kumar`s continuous claims of being their "elder brother", the role of the same had been destroyed by their own people.
While speaking to the media on Monday, RJD leader Manoj Kumar Jha said, "I am seeing it as 142 and 101. BJP+ is 142 and JDU is 101... Nitish Kumar has been telling the BJP for many years that we are the big brother. The entire role of the big brother has been meticulously destroyed by their own people..." as cited by news agency ANI.
