New Delhi/Patna, June 21: After the tough talk and retaliation, BJP today appeared keen on not breaking its alliance with JD(U) in Bihar while Chief Minister Nitish Kumar kept the cards close to his chest.
“The potter does not want his pot to break,” BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said hinting that despite differences with the JD(U), the BJP would like the alliance to continue.
He, however, made it clear that though his party wanted to work with the JD(U) for the development of Bihar, it would not compromise on self-respect.
Stepping in to apparently cool down tempers, senior leader L K Advani, who is in favour of the 15-year old alliance continuing in the run-up to the assembly polls in the state likely in October this year, discussed the developments with Bihar’s BJP unit chief C P Thakur.
