Tried Best To Save JDU: Kushwaha Writes Open Letter

By LokMarg

Janata Dal (United) leader and party’s Parliamentary Board President Upendra Kushwaha has convened two days open session of his supporter in Patna on February 19-20 to discuss the prevailing situation in JDU.

Kushwaha has written an open letter to party workers and claimed that JDU is getting weaker due to internal reasons.
“After becoming part of the grand alliance, I have been worried about the party’s position since the results of the assembly bypolls were announced. I kept informing Chief Minister Nitish Kumar about the party condition. I have tried my best to save the party from losing ground in Bihar and my efforts continue even today,” he wrote.

Despite all the efforts, Kushwaha said his concerns were not only ignored by Chief Minister Kumar but interpreted incorrectly. He said he is concerned about the supporters of JDU if the party disintegrates.

“I want to save JDU. This is only the motive and intention behind the open letter to party workers. Still, 15 days remain in between. I hope that good sense will prevail in the party,” Kushwaha told ANI.

He also questioned CM Nitish Kumar for not answering on the alleged “deal” with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

“Why are Nitish Kumar and the people around him not answering whether any ‘deal’ has been done between JDU and RJD or not? Either Nitish Ji doesn’t want to answer the question or something else has happened,” he said.

“Why RJD leaders continuously speak against me despite JDU being part of the grand alliance. Should not Nitish Kumar ask why RJD leaders speaking against me?” he questioned.

Asked if he would launch his political party, Kushwaha said, “Till now I have not planned a new party but focus to strengthen JDU.”

Meanwhile, JDU president and party MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh criticized Kushwaha for putting his concerns in public and not in the party forum.

“Only Upendra Kushwaha can tell what is going on in his mind and about his intentions. If a person has issue with his party and his intentions are right, he will speak on the party’s forum. But instead, he is speaking about it publically. Hence, something is wrong,” the JDU chief said. (ANI)

Paltu Kumar: The Flip-Flop Man of Indian Politics Strikes Again

Upendra Kushwaha: Nitish Was Given A ‘Jhunjhuna’

By LokMarg

Janta Dal (United) leader Upendra Kushwaha on Tuesday lashed out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar saying that he was given the ‘Jhunjhuna’ of the Chairman of the parliamentary and he can’t even nominate a member.

Kushwaha even threatened to resign from the Bihar Legislative Council.
“I was a Rajya Sabha MP and Union Minister. However, I didn’t think twice while leaving those positions. The position of MLC is nothing big compared to that,” said Kushwaha.

“Even after being the Chairman of the Parliamentary Board, I cannot nominate a member. No attention was paid to my suggestions,” he complained.

“CM Nitish Kumar says I was given a lot of respect after I was made the Chairman of the Parliamentary Board’,” he said.

“When I was made the leader of the parliamentary party, I thought that I would get the opportunity to execute the responsibilities of the position. But later on I realized that as the Chairman of the Parliamentary board, I was given nothing but a ‘Jhunjhuna’ in my hands,” he rued.

“When I became the Chairman, there was no mention of the post in the party constitution. Later on, the constitution was amended and it was added,” Kushwaha alleged.

He said that the party did not appoint any member to the parliamentary board and did not even give him powers to appoint the members.

“I had suggested the Party nominate candidates from the backward cast to the Rajya Sabha. However, my suggestion was not heard,” he added. (ANI)
