BJP leader and union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said here on Saturday that the alliance of JD-U, RJD and Congress would not be voted to power in the upcoming Bihar assembly polls.
"There is no chance that state government led by Nitish Kumar will return to power despite him joining hands with the RJD of Lalu Prasad and Congress," Prasad, the minister for telecom, said here.
People of Bihar have decided on change. "It has been visible all around, especially during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's three parivartan rallies in Muzaffarpur, Gaya and Saharsa."
He said people would not vote for Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) alliance due to fear of return of jungle raj.
"People are already fed up with increasing crimes since Nitish Kumar is running the government with the support of the RJD."
The BJP leader said the special package of Rs 1.25 lakh crore for Bihar announced by Modi has been welcomed by one and all except the JD-U, RJD and Congress leaders.
