"Slap To BJP": Tejashwi Yadav On Nitish Kumar's "Return To Socialist Family"

Bihar's new deputy chief minister says BJP tries to "intimidate those it can intimidate; and buy those ready to be bought"

Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar's new deputy chief minister, today described Nitish Kumar's return to the “socialist family” as a “slap in the face of the BJP”. He said the BJP's attempt to “intimidate or buy out” regional parties is aimed at “finishing off the politics of backward classes and Dalits”, because most such parties represent such sections of society.

The RJD leader was speaking to the media in Delhi after meeting Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. He met Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and D Raja before that.
