During floods, snakes and scorpions climb the same tree: Chirag Paswan on RJD-JD-U alliance

Commenting on alliance between the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the (Janata Dal United) Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ram Vilas Paswan's son Chirag Paswan on Thursday said that when there is flood, snakes and scorpions climb up the same tree.

"When a flood comes, the snake and the scorpion climb the same tree, it is really funny. It is very strange to be so politically opportunistic," said Paswan.

"Nobody is ready for elections. They are just going to drag the government," he said.

Earlier in the day, the RJD announced its unconditional support to the JD (U) government in Bihar, which is headed by Chief Minister Jeetan Ram Manjhi.

A trust vote is scheduled in the state assembly for Friday.
