The rift between BJP and ally JDU on Sunday widened with Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi pulling out of functions to be addressed by Nitish Kumar to protest the return of flood relief money to Gujarat, after which the Chief Minister cancelled his programme.
Apart from Modi, Health Minister and BJP leader N K Yadav, who represents the Patna City constituency, also stayed away from the Chief Minister's 'Biswas Yatra', a day after Nitish Kumar returned Rs five crore of flood relief money to the Narendra Modi Government.
"I don't want to accompany (Nitish) Kumar for the meeting for the arbitrary attitude of the Chief Minister in returning the flood relief money to the government of Gujarat," a fuming Modi told reporters here after cancelling his programme with the chief minister as part of the 'Biswas Yatra' at Paliganj in Patna district.
However, JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav asserted that his party's alliance will BJP will continue despite the "unfortunate" advertisement episode involving Nitish and his Gujarat counterpart.
"Our alliance with NDA is old and our intention is that it should continue. The incidents of June 12 were unfortunate but are now behind us. What has passed has passed. After June 12 we fought Rajya Sabha polls together," Yadav said in New Delhi where BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain met him.
Hussain, a BJP spokesperson, later said the top party brass will discuss the developments in Bihar on Monday.
"BJP central leadership is keeping an eye on the political situation in Bihar. Our party president and other senior leaders are not in the capital. They will be here on Monday and we will discuss the issue," he said
