The BJP on Monday (April 15) launched a strong critique of JD(U), its ally in the NDA, for concentrating its energy on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi instead of pressing matters like price rise, black money and anti-farmer policies of the UPA, and said it was unacceptable. "Narendra Modi is a respected leader of the BJP and Chief Minister of Gujarat. BJP cannot accept that coalition party leaders make adverse comments against our leader and CM," state party President Mangal Pandey said in a statement in Patna. BUt JD(U) hit back at the BJP.
