Patna,(BiharTimes): Commenting on the reported failure of the merger talks between JD(U) and RJD former deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi said on Sunday that the BJP does not fear them whether they fight in alliance or as a merged party. Instead, these two parties fear the BJP’s growing strength.

Talking to the media he said Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar may contest the Assembly elections together as a merged unit, or separately in alliance with each other, the BJP is ready to accept their challenge. Their merger game is an election stunt.

Taunting Nitish the BJP leader said he had to rush to Delhi quite frequently to push forward or participate in the Janata Parivar merger talks, and thereby, has been giving less time to run the state. The reality is that the Janata Parivar members cannot go together long.
