Patna,(BiharTimes): With dropped Rajya Sabha MP Shivanand Tiwary virtually in a political hiding––not talking to any mediaperson––another Janata Dal (United) leader, Ghulam Rasool Balyavi, has almost raised a banner of revolt after being ignored for the Upper House of Parliament.
He was upset after the party on Friday nominated relatively lesser-known leader, Kahkashan Parween, as replacement for Sabir Ali.
He met the party’s national chief Sharad Yadav on Friday night, obviously to express his displeasure.
Talking to a section of media he reminded that it was he who introduced the Janata Dal (United) among the Muslim community when the National Democratic Alliance was led by none else but Lal Krishna Advani. It was not very easy for Muslims to accept Janata Dal (United) then, he added.
Stating that the party might have decided better he said that he had played his role and has no complaint. But the priority now should be to save the party from being split.
“I never did any bargain to join JD(U) and I would not do so in future,” he said adding that he had achieved what he wanted to accomplish. He said that he is neither corrupt nor a cheat and was not expecting anything from the party.
“It may be that honourable chief minister has taken the right decision. He just said that he would make right judgement and I am waiting for it,” he added.
It is being reported that Sharad Yadav had actually given his nod to the name of Baliyawi, but what happened later could not be known.
On the other hand Tiwary is not receiving any phone nor saying anything on record to the media. He is upset over the party’s decision to pit him from Buxar Lok Sabha seat.
