BUXAR: Its ideological differences with the BJP notwithstanding , JD(U) on Friday strongly reiterated its support for L K Advani as NDA’s prime ministerial candidate with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and Advani together giving an oust-UPA call at an election rally in Buxar.
"India needs an effective and honest leadership and not the one which is leading the country at present,’’ Advani said, adding, though Manmohan Singh is the PM, it is 10 Janpath which takes decisions.
Nitish echoed Advani, went a step further and said a weak PM has created a situation where Union ministers consider themselves as prime ministers of their departments . ‘‘ Such a weak government deserves to go and voters should ensure it by voting decisively in favour of NDA,’’ he said.
Nitish was among the first few to demand action against BJP’s Varun Gandhi for his hate speech. Narendra Modi is not a hero in the eyes of Nitish . He has also gone on record to say ‘kuchh bhi ho sakta hai’ after the polls instead of claiming an NDA win. But not even an iota of bitterness was in evidence between the two leaders when they indulged in UPA-bashing here.
