Nitish has no shame: Shah on JD(U)-RJD tie-up

With JD(U) and RJD joining hands to fight Bihar elections, BJP president Amit Shah slammed erstwhile ally Nitish Kumar on Saturday, saying that he had ‘no shame’ in associating with Lalu Prasad whom he had attacked earlier for running ‘jungle raj’ in the state.
‘Nitish came to power by saying he was fighting against ‘jungle raj’ of Lalu Prasad. However, he went and sat in the lap of the same Lalu without any hesitation ... There is no shame,’ he said addressing the BJP National Council in the capital.
‘In politics, principles matter more than numbers. We need to expose this immoral alliance,’ Shah told the gathering of leaders and cadres.
Arch rivals JD(U) and RJD came together after their drubbing in the Lok Sabha polls and have decided to contest the upcoming byelections in alliance along with Congress.
Shah exhorted party workers to work hard and ensure that BJP wins a majority on its own in Bihar where assembly elections are due next year.
Nitish Kumar’s party, JD(U), had broken its long-time alliance with BJP last year after the latter announced that Narendra Modi will be its chief campaigner for 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
After the break-up, JD(U) suffered a serious setback in the Lok Sabha elections as the majority of seats in the state were conquered by BJP and its alliance partner LJP.
