NEW DELHI: Newly elected MP Devesh Chandra Thakur from Biharโs Janata Dal (United) led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has caused controversy. MP Devesh Chandra Thakur said he wouldnโt help Muslims & Yadavs because they didnโt vote for him in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Misa Bharti of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) responded to Janata Dal (United) leader Devesh Chandra Thakurโs comment about Yadavs & Muslims, Misa Bharti questioned the message behind his words.
โWhy did he say that? He won the elections & now has a chance to represent his constituency. What is he trying to communicate with such statements?โ Misa Bharti, the Lok Sabha member-elect from Biharโs Patliputra seat & daughter of RJD supremo & ex-Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, said.
Misa Bharti targets the โsabka saath, sabka vishwasโ (together for all, development for all) slogan of PM Narendra Modi. Misa Bharti also pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi advocates for โunity & trust for all.โ So, why do his MPs make such comments?

Prime Minister Narendra Modiโs Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) & the Janata Dal (United) led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are political allies.
โWhy is he saying that & for what purpose? The people of Sitamarhi will need to understand this. They elected their leader to promote regional progress. Why (Thakur) is making that type of statement that could divide the people of his region?โ Misa Bharti questioned.
Recently, Devesh Chandra Thakur won the Sitamarhi constituency in the recently held Lok Sabha Polls, he mentioned that the Muslim & Yadav communities, who typically support the RJD and are core voters of the RJD also. But they did not vote for him.
โA Muslim Person approached me for help, & I asked if they voted for the RJD. They said yes, mentioning the RJDโs symbol. I told him to have tea, and sweets and leave and then I wouldnโt do his work They (Muslims and the Yadav) community, who usually support us, didnโt vote for our party because they saw our party was associated with the symbol with Narendra Modi face. Despite my past help to these communities, they didnโt vote for us this time.
