BJP-JD(U) rift comes to the fore again, now over officials’ transfers | India News


PATNA: As the Minister’s Office upheld the transfer of 149 circle officials (COs) previously made by the Minister of Income and Land Reform (RLRD) of Bihar Ram Surat Railater adopted a strong stance on the issue, leading to the re-emergence of the rift between the NDA allies. BJP and JD (U).
BJP, however, went into damage control mode on Sunday as Deputy CM Tarkishore Prasadwho was on his way to Darbhanga, met Rai at his Bochaha residence in the Muzaffapur district of Bihar and had a discussion on camera with him for over an hour.
Immediately after the meeting, state BJP spokesman Arvind Singh said, “Rai was not upset. A solution to the problem will be found. CM Nitish Kumar he himself will find the solution”.
For BJP, immediate budding is paramount because PM Narendra Modi scheduled to visit Patna on July 12 in connection with the centenary of the state legislature building. In addition, since the presidential election will take place on July 18, the BJP cannot have any public or behind-the-scenes rift with JD (U).
“The position of a minister is not a personal property. My feelings have definitely been hurt. I wouldn’t mind dropping the post,” Rai said in Muzaffarpur on Saturday.
The State Congress MLC and the head of the Prem party’s communications department, Chandra Mishra, said Rai should step down himself, because the transfers he made showed signs of corruption.
