Patna,(BiharTimes): Janata Dal (United) leader Shakuni  Chaudhary on Wednesday questioned the very process of Janata  Dal (United) merging with the Rashtriya Janata Dal.

Talking to the media after the “dahi-chura” party organized  by the state Janata Dal (United) chief Vashistha Narayan  Singh he said that instead of gearing up to fight the battle  on its own the Janata Dal (United) sometimes goes with the  BJP and sometimes with RJD. This is the sign of weakness. “Hum log yudh ke tayari mein nahin hain, milan ki tiyari mein  hain” (We are not gearing up for battle but for merger), he  said adding “bhagne wala fauj kabhi lad nahin sakta (the army  which runs away can not fight). 

“I think that the JD(U) should stand on its own and wage its  battle,” Shakuni, who is an ex-serviceman and fought the 1962  war against China, said.

He said that he failed to understand as to why Nitish is  going to Lalu and Lalu to Mulayam and Mulayam to all the  places in the country. 

Incidentally, his son, Samrat, is urban development and  housing department minister in the Jitan Ram Manjhi  government. He crossed over from the RJD to join JD(United)  on the eve of Lok Sabha election.
