Patna: Janta Dal-United leader K.C Tyagi on Friday blamed the rising fuel price the reason behind JDU’s defeat in the Jokihat Assembly bypolls.
JDU General Secretary KC Tyagi on Friday said: “Rising price of petrol and diesel mainly angered people that led to our defeat in Jokihat and NDA elsewhere” after RJD’s Shahnawaz Alam won the seat by over 41,000 votes.
Mr. Tyagi said the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre should take measures to control and check the price hike which is “directly impacting the rural economy and common man”. “BJP should go for more coordination and meetings with its allies before taking any decision”. added the senior JDU leader.
On Thursday RJD candidate Shahnawaz Alam defeated JDU’s Murshid Alam by 41000 votes. Earlier the Tejashwi Yadav led RJD had defeated JD-U in bypolls to Jehanabad assembly seat and the Araria Lok Sabha seat.
