The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday taunted at Janata Pariwar ahead of its Swabhiman rally in Patna on Sunday, saying when they could not share 'lichis and mangoes', how could they expect to share seats.

"People who could not share lichhis and mangoes, it is quite natural that they will face difficulties in seat sharing. We can see a division taking place in the Janata Pariwar well before the elections in Bihar.

The Samajwadi Party and Nationalist Congress Party have already decided to boycott the Swabhiman Rally," BJP leader Sambit Patra told ANI.

"The People of Bihar are intelligent enough to vote for development," he added.

He asserted that elections in Bihar are focused between two kinds people.

"One set of people want to see that the chariot of development in Bihar moves ahead while the second group Janata Pariwar wants this chariot to stop and not see the development coming to the state," Patra said.

According to the reports Samajwadi Party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav may decide against sharing the dais with Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who is expected be the chief speaker at the Swabhiman rally.

The NCP has already distanced itself from the rally after being ignored by the 'Mahagathbandhan'.
