Tejashwi Yadav says 'BJP has no face in Bihar', hitting out at Dy. CM

Hitting out at Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday, said that with Sushil Modi at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's side, the BJP does not have any face for the Assembly polls. He said that Modi is Kumar's man and hence BJP inspite of being the biggest political party in the world, does not have a presence in Bihar. He also alleged that Sushil Modi did not believe in PM Modi. He also added that the deputy CM had no decision making power. Tejashwi hits out at Sushil Modi "Sushil Modi does not have decision making power. It means that he does not believe on the face of Narendra Modi. BJP should think that it is the biggest political party in the world and it does not have a face in Bihar. Sushil Modi is not in the BJP but on the side of Nitish Kumar's party and Nitish's man. Everybody knows this. Even BJP leaders say this. That's why BJP does not have a face in Bihar," he told to ANI in Patna.
