New Delhi, May 11: Former Janata Dal (United) president R C P Singh joined the BJP here on Thursday in the presence of Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan and mocked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, once his mentor, as a “palti maar” for his U-turns in pursuit of “kursi” (chair).
Singh had a fallout with Kumar last year after he was seen by the JD(U) to be veering closer to the BJP as differences between the two parties grew. The two outfits subsequently severed their alliance. Speaking to reporters, Singh took a swipe at Kumar, saying he compromised his stand against crime and corruption in his “love” for the chair.
