In a sharp attack on the opposition bloc, the BJP on Saturday blamed the "arrogance" of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha's (JMM) decision to quit the Mahagathbandhan and contest the Bihar Assembly elections independently.
BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya said the grand alliance had fallen apart due to the attitude of its top leaders. "In Bihar, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has released the list of its candidates and also announced that it is no longer a part of the Mahagathbandhan. Not only that, the party has also stated that after the Bihar elections, the alliance in Jharkhand will also be reconsidered. Rahul and Tejashwi's arrogance is the real reason behind the breakup of the Mahagathbandhan. Bihar has been saved," Malviya said on X.
