A day after Narendra Modi was anointed by the BJP as its prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar said projection of a ‘Hindu fundamentalist’ would not help the saffron party to wrest power at the Centre. “Vinash kale vipreet buddhi (wrong thinking at a time of crisis),” said Nitish on whose insistence the JD(U) walked out of NDA, breaking its 17-year-old alliance with the BJP three month ago when it Modi’s ascendency became clear. “We knew this would happen, so there is no element of surprise in this decision… Mere media hype will not yield any result,” he said.
“The people of the country will never accept the party and its divisive ideology, which aims to weaken and divide the nation. There will be no Modi impact in Bihar,” the CM said. LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan said the NDA has already disintegrated over the Modi issue and post election, hardly any party will join the alliance or support the BJP to form government. “On its own, the BJP cannot win enough seats to form the government. The internal conflict within the BJP will further mar its chances,” he said. Paswan said as the choice of RSS, Modi would only further its communal agenda. Paswan claimed the JDU, too, had been weakened in Bihar after the break-up of the NDA.
