Back‘Want Nitish Kumar to stay’: Akhilesh Yadav blames Congress for Bihar political turmoil
Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav has blamed Congress for the ongoing turmoil in Bihar politics and growing fissures within the INDIA bloc.
In an interview with India Today, the Samajwadi Party chief said, “Congress should have come forward. The enthusiasm that Congress needed to show in discussing and engaging with the INDIA alliance was missing”.
He said Bihar’s political crisis could have been averted if Congress had taken some initiative.
Yadav said he is disappointed about the reports claiming that Kumar will join the NDA camp. “I want Nitish Kumar to stay with the INDIA bloc. After all, he was the one who took the initiative and formed the INDIA alliance,” Yadav told the TV channel.
