Tariq Anwar the leader of Nationalist Congress Party on Saturday said that his party is hurt after being ignored in the 'Maha Gathbandhan' in Bihar.
"We believed that we are also a part of 'Maha Gatbandhan' we would be sharing the seats equally and would be given a decent share, but we are hurt the way we have been treated," Anwar told ANI.
"We feel that they (Lalu-Nitish) don't need NCP and people like us, they didn't even feel the need to talk to us all through the episode," he added.
Anwar further said his party wanted to stop the communal forces in Bihar but they have been ignored of the grand alliance.
Commenting on merging with other alliances he said, that the party has not been left with any other alternative.
