‘Against alliance politics’: JDU on defection of 6 MLAs to BJP in Arunachal

JDU leader KC Tyagi lashed out at the BJP over the defection of 6 JDU MLAs to the BJP in Arunachal Pradesh.

‘We express anguish over six JD (U) MLAs from Arunachal Pradesh joining BJP.

This is not a good sign for alliance politics,’ Tyagi said during a press conference.

He also attacked the BJP over the Love Jihad law in several BJP ruled states and said that the JDU does not support such divisive laws.

‘An atmosphere of hatred and division is being created in the country in the name of 'love jihad'.

Provisions of the Constitution and CrPC give freedom to two adults to choose life partners of their choice irrespective of one's religion or caste,’ the senior JDU leader said.

Earlier Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar downplayed the exit of the MLAs and said that ‘they have gone their own way’.

JDU is part of the NDA government in Centre and won Bihar election in a pre-poll alliance with the BJP.
