Bihar Guv invites Tejashwi, 5 RJD MLAs for discussion

Patna (Bihar) [India], July 27 (ANI): Bihar Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi has invited Tejashwi Yadav and five other Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLAs for discussion.

The development came right after the a large group of RJD leaders, spearheaded by Tejashwi, marched towards the Governor's residence to stage a dharna over the sudden change in time of the oath-taking ceremony of Nitish Kumar as the Bihar Chief Minister.

While marching towards the Raj Bhawan, Tejashwi said, being the largest party, the RJD should have been invited to form government in Bihar.

"I've been defamed. The people of Bihar are watching. Being the largest party we should have been invited (to form government in Bihar)," he said.

RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav, echoing the same, blatantly slammed Nitish for changing sides.

"He (Nitish) has sat in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) lap. It is betrayal of the mandate given by the people of Bihar," he said.

This heated development came following the announcement by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of change in timing of the oath-taking ceremony from 5 p.m. to 10 a.m.

Smelling foul in the same, the RJD said the amendment came following the information of the party meeting the Governor at 11 a.m.

"Earlier the oath was to take place at 5 p.m., but since now the RJD is meeting the Governor at 11am, so he is saying to take oath at 10 a.m. This shows there is some loophole," RJD spokesperson Manoj Jha told ANI.

He further alleged that Tejashwi was only an excuse for Nitish to shift his loyalty back to the BJP. (ANI)
