Kolkata, May 08: Amidst open invitations of the
Congress and Left for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the formation of the next government, Lok Janashakti Party of Ram Vilas Paswan on Friday said Kumar was not a secular person and it would not support any future dispensation with Kumar in it.
Asked whether he will support UPA government at the
Center, Paswan at the sidelines of a rally here told reporters
"we will support any secular government but if someone wants
us to believe that Nitish Kumar is secular then we will not
accept that".
Earlier this month AICC genral secretary Rahul Gandhi had
made an open call for Nitish Kumar in New Delhi, while West
Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee claimed
yesterday that Nitish Kumar showed eagerness to join the Third
Front. Bhattacharjee`s claim was denied by JD(U).
Speaking at the rally, he said "we will win atleast 134
seats and emerge as a strong force after the election," Paswan
said.
"If we win then we will give free books, clothes and food
to students till graduation, deposit Rs 25,000 if a girl child
is born so that the parents can withdraw the money at the time
of her marriage, implement Sachchar committee report and take
action against the people involved in riots in Gujrat," Paswan
said.
