The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday attacked Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Chirag Paswan, accusing him of trying to create a confusion by harping on his equations with senior leaders of the saffron party, reported PTI. The BJP asserted that it had no relations with the LJP.

Paswan, who decided to go solo in the upcoming Bihar elections, has been lauding the BJP and its top leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He has been attacking JD(U) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ever since he broke the alliance with JD(U).

“We want to make it clear that we have no relations (with LJP), and we do not like this politics of spreading confusion,” BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar said.

Another senior BJP leader accused Paswan of practising “politics of lies”, saying he had been praising the Bihar government in February this year.

Javadekar said BJP’s alliance in Bihar is with JD(U), Jitan Ram Manjhi’s HAM(S) and Vikassheel Insaan Party, asserting the NDA combine will win three-fourth majority in the state.

The LJP is nothing more than “vote katua” (eating into votes of others) and it will not be able to make much impact, he said.

The Bihar polls are scheduled in three phases on October 28, November 3 and November 7. The counting of votes will be done on November 10.
