“JD (U) party gives tickets to only those individuals, who are not corrupt and who have concern for the people. That is why we will contest in only selected constituencies after carefully choosing honest candidates." Patel added.

    Most of the CM of the country are depending on central Govt for their state to develop.
    It is our honorable CM Siddaramaiah without any support developed Karnataka and won the hearts of people.
    Siddaramaiah Ki Jai Ho.

    Since Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ditched the Grand Alliance of RJD+Congress and returned to the BJP-led NDA and formed new government on 27th July 2017, the state has witnessed at least 200 incidents of communal tension – 64 of them this year alone.
    It seems Nitish has been unable to play the role of ‘Big Brother’ in the state in his new stint with NDA

    The Indian Express has analyzed official records and prepared a list communal incidents occurred in the last five years.
    Year Number of Communal Incidents
    2012 50
    2013 112
    2014 110
    2015 155
    2016 230
    2017 270

    Since the first week of this March in the run-up to the Araria Lok Sabha by-polls, several leaders of Nitish Kumar’s ally BJP have been purposely stoking communal tension in different parts of the state. Despite his warning that he won’t tolerate communalism also like corruption, nothing has changed on the ground, rather communal violence has increased.
    In Cambridge Analytica' personal data leak one of the party member is his JD(U) Rajya Sabha member owned Indian subsidiary.

    CM Nitish Kumar's divorced with 'Mahagathbandhan' citing corruption to remarry with BJP's ' Atut gathbandhan' proving to be disaster.
    When crony capitalist run with bank loot, how Nitesh is still so comfortable with BJP's alliance?
    Is he going to contest against BJP's candidate or hand picked to contest against Congress to defeat?
    Jai Hind

    JD(U) creating jobs for youth of Karnataka - What a joke. They can't even create jobs for their youth in their own state and that is why all their youth are hanging over in Karnataka. People should boycott them.
