Patna | Days after the BJP-JD(U) alliance in Bihar announced its seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, a BJP MP from Bihar has said that there shouldn’t be a comparison between the parties as both BJP and JD(U) are equal partners in Bihar.
Speaking to media, Gopal Narayan Singh said,” Both JDU and BJP are equal partners, there should be no comparisons. If BJP needs Nitish then Nitish also needs the BJP.” Unlike its alliance partner JD(U) belief of Nitish Kumar being the biggest leader in Bihar, the BJP MP said,”Like in all over India, in Bihar also our main brand is Narendrabhai Modi ji.”
