Union minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan believes the Grand Alliance against the Bharatiya Janata Party in Bihar is an orange fruit: it appears one from the outside but inside, it has many factions.
He was referring to the recent tirade by senior Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders against Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) president Nitish Kumar. "Without the consent of Laluji, RJD leaders cannot say anything," he said.
Sounding a warning, Paswan added, "Everyone knew of the contrasting functioning styles of the RJD and the JDU. The strain between them would be visible more in the coming days."
