BJP trying for coalition of contradiction, says RJD

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha on Saturday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying for coalition of contradiction in the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls.

"When you try to stitch a coalition of contradiction, there are images, which are not very comfortable, either for the voter or even for the cadre," Jha told ANI.

"Whatever little support base of Paswan or Manjhi, they can stand in queue and vote with a political party whose contribution is well-known in making of the outfit like Ranvir Sena," he added.

Jha further said, "Whatever you do in the closed rooms of Delhi shall not get translated once Bihar decides to vote and that's the reality of this coalition of contradiction."

Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi announced on Wednesday that the Bihar Assembly elections will be held in five phases between October 12 and November 5 with the results scheduled to be announced on November 8.
