Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday urged Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar to withdraw support from the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre because ‘a socialist’ was presented to pay tribute to Jayaprakash Narayan on his birth anniversary.
The Jai Prakash Narayan International Centre (JPNIC) has been sealed and the police force has been deployed ahead of Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav’s scheduled visit on the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan on Friday.
Yadav criticised the BJP government for blocking the entrance gate with tin sheets which prevented them from paying tribute to Jayaprakash Narayan on his birth anniversary.
“Many of the socialist people are in the government and helping the government to continue. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar emerged from his (Jai Prakash Narayan) movement, this is a chance for Nitish Kumar to withdraw support from the government which is not allowing a socialist to pay tribute to Jayaprakash Narayan on his birth anniversary,” Yadav said while interacting with media.
