'BJP divides people, destroys parties': Tejashwi Yadav after reunion with Nitish Kumar
India Today
RJD's Tejashwi Yadav accused the BJP of dividing people on communal lines and destroying its alliance partners in states like Punjab and Maharashtra.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the BJP, after reuniting with Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United), and said the saffron party divides people on communal lines and destroys its alliance partners in multiple states.
"Look at what they do to allies. Across the Hindi heartland, the BJP does not have any alliance partners. History tells us that the BJP destroys the parties with whom it forms an alliance. We did see that happening in Punjab and Maharashtra," Yadav told reporters after meeting Governor to stake claim to form government.

Further, the RJD leader accused the BJP of intimidating leaders and buying them out.
"JP Nadda said they would end regional parties. The BJP knows only to intimidate and buy people. The BJP's agenda shouldn't be implemented in Bihar. We all wanted that and we won't relent at any cost," he said.
On Tuesday, Nitish Kumar met Bihar Governor Phagu Chauhan twice, first to hand in his resignation as chief minister and then after being elected leader of the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, to stake claim for the top job in the state once again. Kumar is likely to be sworn-in as the CM tomorrow.
