16 Janata Dal United members join BJP |
BJP lent another blow to the Opposition parties that claim to be joining hands against the ruling NDA alliance. The Janata Dal-United unit of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in Delhi in the presence of party chief J P Nadda and the National General Secretary B L Santhosh. 16 members of the JDU unit joined the BJP including the ex-state president of JDU. The development comes after the JDU stitched alliance with RJD and others to form the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar state.Earlier in September, five out of six Janata Dal United MLAs in Manipur had joined the BJP. On the 25th of August, the lone JDU MLA from Arunachal Pradesh also joined the BJP. All this happened after Nitish Kumar`s party had severed its ties with the BJP in Bihar in the first week of August and walked out of the National Democratic Alliance.
