Agitated over the criticism of Narendra Modi at a JD(U) meeting,a BJP faction from Bihar on Monday met the partys top leadership to voice their grievances on the style of functioning of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
A group of leaders from the Bihar BJP unit met party president Rajnath Singh and apprised him of the differences with Kumar and coalition partner JD(U),which is known for its aversion to the Gujarat Chief Ministers perceived bid for prime ministership.
Among those who met Singh were former state unit chief C Thakur,Health Minister Ashwani Choubey,Giriraj Singh and Chandramohan Rai.
The group,considered to be staunch supporters of Modi,strongly disapproved of the remarks made by Kumar at a JD(U) meeting Sunday asking BJP to name its prime ministerial candidate for the general elections scheduled for next year.
The JD(U) had said the PM candidate should have secular credentials beyond doubt.
Hitting back at the JD(U),BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman had rejected all the unfounded inferences against Modi and asked it to refrain from concentrating its energies on criticising BJP chief ministers.
It is learnt that Bihar BJP leaders told Rajnath Singh that the party was not growing in Bihar due to its alliance with JD(U) and that they were opposed to the continuance of the alliance.
We have told our party president about all the issues. He has promised us that he will take an appropriate decision at an appropriate time, Giriraj Singh told reporters after the meeting at the BJP headquarters here.
Rajnath Singh is understood to have advised Bihar leaders against going to the media with their views.
