PATNA: Deputy CM
Renu Devi
on Sunday said there was no conflict in the
National Democratic Alliance (
NDA) and both HAM(S) led by
Jitan Ram Manjhi
and
LJP
led by
Chirag Paswan
are part of it.
The deputy CM’s remark came a day after a row erupted over the
BJP’s invitation to Chirag to attend an online meeting of the NDA, which the latter skipped citing health reasons. The meeting was called to discuss the ruling bloc’s agenda for the
Budget session of the
Parliament
.
Manjhi had earlier attacked the BJP for inviting Chirag to the NDA meeting, saying the latter had harmed the alliance by fielding candidates against the JD(U) in the recently concluded assembly elections. “This is not appropriate at all,” HAM(S) spokesperson Danish Rizwan had quoted Jitan Ram Manjhi as saying on Saturday. Rizwan added the invitation letter was probably sent to Chirag by mistake.
The BJP’s move has also irked the JD(U). Without taking the name of Chirag, JD(U) national president R
C P Singh
said, “I don’t know where he stands now. He was not in the NDA. He was not present at Friday’s meeting.”
