Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Sunday alleged that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav have formed alliance with Congress president Sonia Gandhi to be in power, adding that they are killing the ideologies of social activist Jayaprakash Narayan.

"Lalu and Nitish have come together with Sonia to be in power. Jayaprakash had formed a non-Congress government here. They are killing the ideologies of Jayaprakash for the chief ministerial post," Shah said while addressing a rally here.

"Jayaprakash Narayan was the protector of democracy. Today constitution and democracy are alive in nation and we have right to cast our vote, most of credit goes to Jayaprakash Narayan," he added.

 

Shah further said that Bihar needs change and a government should be formed there which works on the ideologies of Jayaprakash and helps in the progress and development of the villages of Bihar.

Campaigning for the first phase ended on Saturday, and its polling will be held on Monday.
