Bihar elections 2020: JD(U) asks LJP to spell out 'ideological differences'

With the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) deciding against partnering with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) in Bihar citing 'ideological differences', JD(U) leader Ashok Choudhary asked the LJP to spell out the differences on October 4.

The JDU leader said they want to know the specific ideological differences that the LJP has with them. "During Lok Sabha polls, they partner with us & request Nitish Kumar's presence in their constituency & win the elections. Now for Bihar assembly polls, they claim the ideological differences," ANI quoted Choudhary as saying.

The JDU & the BJP have an unfaltering coalition. And the BJP, after seeing the work ethic of our leader, has again declared him (Nitish Kumar) as the leader of this 2020 Bihar Assembly election: Ashok Choudhary, JDU https://t.co/qsPecSKRsp
