The JD(U) Friday latched on to remarks of senior BJP leaders Rajnath Singh and Anant Kumar to project that the party was “jittery” after the Bihar polls, claiming its result will raise questions marks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “charisma” and BJP chief Amit Shah’s strategy.
“They (the BJP) are fearing defeat. Otherwise what was the reason for Rajnath Singh to assert that whether the BJP wins or loses election, Amit Shah will remain BJP president. Ananth Kumar said that the Bihar poll results are not a referendum on Narendra Modi’s government.
“This shows there is somewhere a fear in their mind. They are fearing defeat. They employed all tricks and brought even cow in the last leg of polls but none worked,” Bihar JD(U) president Vashishtha Narayan Singh told reporters here.
Mr Kumar had Thursday said there was no question of the verdict in the Bihar Assembly polls being a referendum on the Narendra Modi government’s performance. “If at all the Bihar polls are a referendum on anything, it is on Lalu Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar and jungle raj,” Mr Kumar, who is the BJP’s poll in-charge in Bihar, had said soon after the conclusion of the last phase.
