Patna,(BiharTimes): Underplaying the significance of Janata Dal (United) chief’s repeated inroads into Uttar Pradesh, senior Bihar BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi on Saturday dittoed what his party chief had said in an Apna Dal rally in Varanasi on July 2.

“Amit Shah has rightly said that Nitish Kumar will prove a ‘vote-katwa’ in Uttar Pradesh,” Sushil Modi said while commenting on Bihar CM’s frequent trips to the western neighbour.

He said both Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav and Nitish Kumar would end up as losers in UP as they have no base whatsoever in that state. Both of them are trying to survive on the basis of playing caste politics. Former Bihar NDA convenor Nand Kishore Yadav too accused Nitish of playing caste card in UP.
