Nitish Kumar government will fall after polls: Paswan

Patna: The Nitish Kumar government in Bihar will fall after the general election results are out, LJP leader Ram Vilas Paswan said Thursday.Paswan, whose Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

Paswan's LJP joined hands with BJP in February to contest the Lok Sabha polls.

BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain too said that the Nitish Kumar-led government is in danger and would fall after the election results are declared.

But he ruled out that the BJP would do anything or make any attempt to cause the fall of the state government.

Last week, senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, who was deputy chief minister to Nitish Kumar until the two parties fell out, claimed that over 50 legislators from Bihar's ruling Janata Dal-United are in touch with his party as they are unhappy with the chief minister.

The Nitish Kumar government would fall due to internal contradictions after the Lok Sabha polls, said Modi.
