Gaya: JDU rebel and former Speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary said on Wednesday that he foresees another parting of ways betwen the BJP and the JDU, and accused the BJP of queering the pitch for chief minister Nitish Kumar.

Uday said it was a very uneasy partnership and the alliance of convenience was bound to crash, both on account of incompatibility caused by ideological divide and the BJP's narrow outlook. The two parties were unlikely to contest the next Lok Sabha polls together, he said. "A situation is being created through orchestrated violence - communal clashes and bandh vandalism - to end the alliance and impose President's rule," Uday said.

Explaining the contradictory nature of the alliance in Bihar, Uday said that while the JDU's politics centred around disadvantaged groups, the BJP represented those who do not want underprivileged sections to progress. "Crudely, whereas JDU politics can be put in the Mandal category, BJP practises Kamandal (religion-centric) politics and the two types suffer from inherent contradictions. Even power is not a strong glue to keep them together for long," Uday said.

He accusing the BJP of gradually ending quota through category compartmentalisation (reserved category candidates denied general seats even if high in combined merit list) and dilutions like micro-rosters (individual departments and not university as a whole being regarded as a unit) for seat allocation. He referred to a vacancy earlier advertised by the Central University of South Bihar in which only three of 20 non-teaching positions were allotted to SC/ST/OBC candidates, against their entitlement to at least nine seats.

The separation, Uday said, would come ahead of Lok Sabha polls. "The BJP stands to lose in a straight fight."

Though Nitish split from Lalu in July, a one-to-one meet between Nitish and Modi, or Amit Shah, has not taken place, Uday said. Finance minister Arun Jaitley and transport minister Nitin Gadkari are the main channels of communication. "Jaitley is out of the scene for health reasons and Gadkari doesn't count much in the BJP," Uday said.

Uday, who floated Vanchit Vikas Morcha, an outfit to promote the interests of deprived sections a few months back, is convinced that Mandal has returned to the centrestage of Bihar politics.
