JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav talks over phone at his residence, in New Delhi.

The JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav also said that the mandate by the people was not for this (JD(U)- BJP alliance).

JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav on Monday said that he does not approve of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's move to dump the 'grand alliance' and form government with the BJP.

Speaking to media outside Parliament, JD(U) leader said, "I don't agree with the decision in Bihar, its unfortunate."

The JD(U) leader also said that the mandate by the people was not for this (JD(U)- BJP alliance).

In a sudden development, Kumar had quit as Chief Minister on Wednesday last, dumping the grand alliance with the RJD and the Congress. He formed a new government next day with the BJP.

Earlier on Sunday, the JD(U) leader 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 said on twitter.

On Sunday, RJD chief Lalu Prasad appealed to Sharad Yadav to undertake a nationwide tour to defeat 'communal' forces that have fanned out in the country.

"The kind of communal atmosphere is prevailing in the country, we desperately need politicians like Sharad Yadav ji who believes in secular fabric of the nation," he said here.

"I will appeal Sharad ji to undertake a nationwide tour and throw all his energy into defeating the communal forces that have fanned out in the country," he said.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)  said that Yadav should not lose his faith on Prime Minister Narendra Modi as nobody engrossed in corruption would be spared.
