Patna: BJP today attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Lalu Prasad for "compromising" with the principles of Jayaprakash Narayan by aligning with the Congress, which not only "inflicted torture" on the socialist leader but also imposed Emergency.
Senior BJP leaders like Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh, former Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi and a host of other senior leaders spoke at length against the two 'Grand Alliance' leaders at a function to commemorate the anniversary of proclamation of Emergency on June 25, 1975.
"The disciples of JP -Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar- are sitting on the lap of Congress which inflicted torture on JP. If JP's disciples sit on the lap of Congress, then they are the real killers of his principles. It's a matter of shame," Mr Radha Mohan Singh said.
He praised the role of RSS during Emergency days and said that country would have become a slave had the saffron outfit not been there.
He alleged that for power, Mr Kumar aligned with Congress against which he fought throughout his career.
Former state BJP president Nand Kishore Yadav said that Mr Kumar backstabbed JP by compromising with the principles in order to remain in power.
