New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said that senior Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) leader Sharad Yadav should not lose his faith on Prime Minister Narendra Modi as nobody engrossed in corruption would be spared. "We admire Sharad Yadav and he has worked with the NDA Government as well. As a fellow politico, I will suggest Yadav to not lose hopes in Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he will bring back the black money from abroad as well as clear the corruption from the entire nation," BJP leader Ashwani Choubey said. He further said that the BJP took the oath to make Bihar better and corruption free. "Now Bihar will flourish under the guidance of our Prime Minister. Sharad Yadav should think for a while before blaming the Prime Minister. Promises made by Prime Minister Modi will get fulfilled," he added. Earlier on Sunday, JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav hit out on the BJP for failing to keep the promise of bringing back black money stashed abroad. "Neither black money stashed abroad returned, one of the main slogans of the ruling party, nor anyone caught out of those named in Panama papers," Yadav took to twitter. Yadav's remark comes days after Bihar Chief Minister and another JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar quit the grand alliance with the RJD and the Congress and aligned with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and formed the government in the state. Recently, president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) political party Lalu Prasad Yadav had urged Sharad Yadav, currently representing the state of Bihar in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament, to break ties with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He also requested him to join "our fight" against the BJP.
