JD(U) president Sharad Yadav said BJP had been behaving like an enemy since his party decided to walk out of NDA. ``We do not have any objection to that... We will fight, but fight an electoral battle. The Centre, which is supposed to govern as per the Constitution, has trampled upon democratic values," he said.
"For all these days, the BJP was behind the curtain. Yesterday, they lifted the curtain. Tomorrow they (the BJP) will do something else," Yadav added.
The JD(U) leader said BJP had become desperate after losing the Delhi polls. He also accused BJP of trying to lure JD(U) legislators and MLAs of its alliance partners.
"They are giving different types of offer. They are trying to buy out our MLAs and offering them ministerial posts. They are also threatening our MLAs. But none of our MLAs will switch sides," Yadav said.
The JD(U) leader also accused governor K N Tripathi of being "biased" and acting on behalf of BJP. "He is holding a constitutional post and the Centre is responsible for this (to ensure that he follows rules)," he said.
"We paraded our MLAs before the president and the governor. We have 130 MLAs whereas BJP has only 87. There is no harm in asking for a trust vote in 2-3 days or 48 hours, but not for this long a time," he said.
"We told him (governor) that you first ask Manjhi government to prove majority and then read the budget (address). Whoever passes the confidence motion, he should read their budget. Now, you (governor) will read the (Manjhi government's) budget address and then call for confidence motion," Yadav said.
"The Bihar CM has support of just 12 MLAs... On the other side, there are JD(U), BJP, RJD, Left parties and Congress. Even the makers of the Constitution must have not thought about it. This was the reason why we asked the governor to take the majority test at the earliest," Yadav added.
