The BJP is undermining the interests of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and it will not be a surprise if his party, the JD(U), pulls out of the NDA government in the state, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily said.
The former Union minister claimed that whichever party "went along with" the BJP, including the TDP, Shiv Sena and the JD(U), were "not happy at all".
"In a constitutional arrangement (coalition government), communal forces will not tolerate secular forces," he said, adding, "Marriage between communal forces and secular forces... that will be miscarriage of marriage, it will not carry on like this, that's what is happening to Nitish, he lost his personality as a result (of joining hands with BJP to form government)."
