Calling the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre as visionless, RJD leader Manoj Jha on Monday said that the former has no common agenda and is trying to stitch a coalition of contradiction ahead of Bihar election.

"NDA is trying to stitch a coalition of contradiction. And if it is taking too long then it certainly does not indicate a positive prospects for their alliance partners like Manjhi ji, Khushawaha ji or Paswan ji. BJP is not sure how they will stand with them. That's why they have not been able to arrive on a consensus as far as allocation of seats are concerned. They have failed in providing a common agenda and a leader which also indicates that there is chaos prevailing at the NDA," Jha told ANI.

"BJP never respects its supporters. They did the same thing in Maharashtra and Punjab. Todays' BJP is of PM Modi and Amit Shah and their formula is to stretch it too far so that the allies party have no other choice but to stick to them at whatever seat they offer," Jha added.

Talking further on the appointment of senior IAS officer Rajiv Mehrishi as Union Home Secretary in place of incumbent L. C. Goyal today, he said, "In the last 15 months this Government has appointed three Home Secretarys. The Bureaucratic reshuffle at this rate only indicates that something is fishy.
