New Delhi: The BJP will not support Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi during trial of strength.
Speaking on the issue, BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said, "There is no question of supporting Manjhi. Let us see what the Governer does say."
He alleged that the entire crisis was a result of former chief minister Nitish Kumar's greed. He said the BJP is always prepared for elections but there is no point discussing the issue at present.
On JD(U)'s charges that the BJP is masterminding the rebellion in that party, Hussain charged that the JD(U) is so scared that they are even dreaming about BJP. He claimed that Majhi is a more capable CM than Kumar.
"He was bullied by Nitish Kumar and not given any real power," he said.
The Congress has also alleged that Manjhi was being controlled by the BJP. Party spokesperson PC Chacko said, "Manjhi is always working in BJP hands. The BJP is clearly controlling him," he said, adding that Manjhi is neither the leader of the legislative party of JDU nor he is a member of the JD(U).
Meanwhile, constitutional expert Subhash Kashyap said the Governor can accept the advice of the Cabinet headed by Manji or ask him to prove his majority on the floor of the House. "The Governor has the authority," he said.
