JD(U) leaders’ tweets to the Prime Minister anger State BJP chief Sanjay Jaiswal
Rift between Bihar’s ruling alliance partners appeared to have widened on Monday with the BJP issuing a stern warning to the JD(U) on its leaders’ tweets to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A day earlier, the State BJP president and party leaders had questioned the government’s liquor policy and demanded a “serious review”.
“We all have to be within limits in the alliance. It cannot be one-sided any more. And, the first condition is that you [JD-U leaders] cannot play Twitter-Twitter with the country’s Prime Minister as he is the pride of every BJP worker. If you raise questions with him, then 76 lakh BJP workers in Bihar know how to respond. I do believe that we all will be careful in future,” Bihar BJP chief Sanjay Jaiswal said in a long post on social media on Monday.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
