NEW DELHI: RLD’s Jayant Choudhury, an alliance partner of the BJP-led NDA was seated among the audience at the meeting of NDA parliamentary party at the Central Hall of the old Parliament building on Friday, and was conspicuous in his absence from the dais where the rest of alliance party leaders sat alongside Narendra Modi.
While RLD has won two seats in the crucial Jat belt of western UP, he seems to have been overlooked by the BJP managers in terms of his seating arrangement.The young leaders, however, reacted later to it by posting on X: “NDA (New – Developed – Aspirational India) has chosen our Prime Minister for a historic third term, Shri Narendra Modi ji!”
While that should create negate any lack of bonhomie between the allies on the first day of coming together, the Opposition did not fail to point a finger and bruise the alliance picture. The attempt at drawing a wedge between the RLD and BJP leaderships was evident. In fact, Choudhury had hobnobbed with the INDIA bloc for a while before slipping out and crossing over to the NDA, before the polls.
The Samajwadi Party and the Congress on Friday took a jibe at RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary since he was not given a seat on the stage alongside other NDA leaders at the coalition’s parliamentary party meeting to elect Modi as its leader.
In a post on ‘X’ in Hindi, the Samajwadi Party Media Cell said the leaders of parties with one seat each were given a place on the stage but not Chaudhary who has two MPs.
“The BJP’s hatred towards the Jat community and its false respect for the late Chaudhary Charan Singh and Chaudhary Ajit Singh have been exposed.
“If Jayant Chaudhary is really a farmers’ well-wisher, he should distance himself from the NDA and raise his voice against the BJP in farmers’ interests. One should not trade self-respect and the interests of farmers with the BJP due to petty and immediate greed,” it said.
Apna Dal (S) president Anupriya Patel and Hindustan Awami Morcha (HAM) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi, both of whom have won just one seat each in the current Lok Sabha elections, were seated on the stage.
Congress UP President Ajay Rai also pointed to this. “The BJP has a habit of doing such things. The BJP has a habit of insulting its smaller allies.”
The RLD, which had switched sides to BJP-led NDA on the eve of parliamentary elections, won both the seats it was allotted by the ruling coalition in UP.
