There is always risk in sailing on two boats, join ‘NDA ship,’ Paswan tells Nitish

Patna, June 24 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president and union minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Saturday suggested Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar not to sail on two boats saying this could prove disastrous for him.

“Instead of sailing on two boats, he should jump to the NDA boat. Past records show those sailing on two boats have often got drowned,” Paswan, who was here in Patna to host Iftar party, told the media on Saturday.

Paswan whose party is a key allay of the BJP has welcomed Kumar to the NDA. Kumar’s JD-U was earlier an NDA ally before it broke alliance in June 2013.

“He (Kumar) is most welcome in the NDA. If he joins, Bihar will move faster on the right track,” Paswan observed.

The BJP also went all out to woo Kumar to the NDA and hugely praised the latter for lending his support to the NDA’s presidential candidate Ram Nath Kovind.

“We never left him, it was he who quit the NDA,” remarked BJP minister Giriraj Singh.

However, the RJD launched massive attacks on the chief minister for “ditching” his partners.

“Aisa koi saga nahin, jise Nitish ne thaga nahin (Nitish Kumar has ditched just everyone),” alleged RJD legislator Bhai Birendra.
