Patna: Another BJP leader and party’s state spokesman Vinod Narayan Jha also lambasted former JD(U) leader and Bihar CM Jagannath Mishra for claiming that the Brahmins will not go with the NDA this time.

Dubbing Mishra as a “self-proclaimed leader” of Brahmins, he called Mishra Lalu’s “guru” and an accomplice in the multi-millionaire Fodder Scam.

“Not only the Brahmins, but all other sections are solidly behind NDA,” Vinod Narayan Jha said. “Brahmins, in particular, constitute the intelligentsia. They have always longed for development and law and order, which the state NDA government has given in the last three and half years,” he added.

Mitihila region accounts for three parliamentary constituencies - Darbhanga, Madhubani and Jhanjharpur. The BJP is contesting Madhubani and Darbhanga seats, the Jhanjharpur seat has gone to JD(U). Jagannath Mishra had unsuccessfully contested the Jhanjharpur seat last time. He and his son Nitish Mishra left the JD(U) after refused ticket and joined hands with Lalu Prasad.
