RJD wants Governor to invite them to form government as it is the single largest party in Bihar Assembly.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday said that the party has asked Bihar governor Keshari Nath Tripathi for a meeting, as the RJD was the single-largest party during the 2015 Assembly elections in Bihar.
Taking to Twitter, Tejashwi, son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, said, “We will also get support from JDU MLAs
Later with Governor inviting Nitish Kumar to take oath at 10am, Tejashwi upped the ante.
Reacting sharply to the governor inviting Nitish Kumar for the swearing-in at 10 am after giving him an appointment for 11 am, Tejashwi said RJD would stage a dharna outside Raj Bhavan against it.
"Governor gv us time of 11AM and now suddenly has asked NDA for oath ceremony at 10AM. Why so much hurry & rush Mr. Honest & Moral?" he tweeted well past midnight.
" If Nitish Ji is proud of his moral values & honesty, He would not had been in midnight rush to stake claim for govt. Honest man doesn't fear," he said in a series of tweets. He claimed half of JD(U) MLAs were in touch with him which forced Kumar to rush to Raj Bhavan at midnight to stake claim to form the government.
Earlier RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav also slammed Nitish Kumar for breaking away from the alliance and joining the BJP.
After addressing a press conference, Lalu tweeted, “All JDU MLAs caged in CM house since evening. Why so mch insecurity?Just cuz MLAs realise tht they are elected against BJP's divisive agenda.”
Earlier in the evening, he tweeted this
Earlier, after Nitish Kumar resigned as Bihar Chief Minister, Lalu said the former stepped down fearing his exposure in murder case slapped against him, while also questioning his intent behind the decision.
“I spoke to Nitish last night and asked him to clear all the misunderstandings. We talked for 40 minutes and he did not mention about his resignation even once. He also advised me to clarify the corruption charges through media. Nitish Kumar knew that he is accused in a murder and an Arms Act case under Sections 302 and 307 of the IPC. He also declared this in elections affidavit. Nitish knew that if he would ask Tejashwi to resign, then his crime will be exposed,” Lalu told media.
After Nitish’s resignation, the JD(U) decided to join hands with BJP, and the new government will sworn in under Nitish Kumar's leadership at 5PM, on Thursday.
