Pointing to Mr Kumar's recent flip-flop when he broke up with ally RJD and joined an alliance with the BJP, he said: "He had no justifiable reason for ditching us and going back to the BJP-led NDA. He thinks he can trample the people's mandate under his feet (janaadesh ko apne pair ki jooti samajhte hain)."
