Vidrohi told reporters that JD(U) was ignoring core issues concerning the nation by siding with the BJP. The party was unnecessarily diverting voters' attention by raking up the Bofors issue and demanding a CBI probe against Congress president Sonia Gandhi, he said.

He claimed that since Sonia and her children Rahul and Priyanka were popular with the masses, the NDA was under pressure in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Vidrohi said that he will decide his future course of action after discussions with his co-workers and friends.
