Patna: Nitish Kumar's party Janata Dal United or JD(U) has decided not to contest the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections so as to "consolidate and strengthen secular forces" and ensure that "communal forces" are defeated, party General Secretary KC Tyagi said.

"We are disappointed, surprised and hurt that both SP and Congress failed to form a grand alliance on the lines of Bihar that proved to be a milestone in nation's politics.

Bihar's grand alliance was formed by the efforts of both Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad who buried their differences for a bigger objective," Tyagi said.

"If we have to win the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, then it is necessary that BJP must be defeated in UP polls," he said.
