Bihar Politics: Several prominent leaders associated with Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) party recently resigned from their posts simultaneously. Now, BJP's reaction has also emerged on this. Bihar government minister and BJP MLA from Bankipur, Nitin Nabin, termed it Upendra Kushwaha's personal decision.
Speaking to journalists in Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Nitin Nabin said, "Upendra Kushwaha ji took a decision on the matter regarding those who did not work in support of the party during the elections and worked against the party." He called this matter Upendra Kushwaha's private decision and kept it separate from the entire party organization.
Nitin Nabin's Statement: Upendra Kushwaha's Decisive Step
Journalists questioned Nitin Nabin about the reason behind the resignations in RLM. To this, he said,
'Upendra Kushwaha ji took a decision on who was not working in support of the party during the elections and who was involved in activities against the party. Based on this, the party took a decision under its internal process and action was taken.'
Nitin also clarified that this step was taken to maintain party discipline and organizational strength. He stated that it is essential for any party that all members work in the same direction and support electoral strategies.
BJP's Reaction on Bihar Assembly Elections 2025
Additionally, Nitin Nabin also commented on the results of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 and the questions being raised by the opposition. He said,
'Were the Jharkhand results according to their wishes? The opposition always tries to determine the outcome beforehand. But BJP comes based on the people's mandate. Our party prioritizes the public's trust and vote to form a government. Congress always used to decide beforehand who to bring into power and who not to, whereas we directly accept the people's decision.'
This statement clearly underscores BJP's democratic process and reliance on the people's mandate.
