The JD-U today slammed the "autocratic personality cult" in the BJP, without taking any name, in a strident criticism of Narendra Modi and the party leadership's decision to elevate him as its poll campaign chief.

The JD-U in a resolution adopted before walking out of its 17-year-old alliance with the party leading the NDA said the anointment of the Gujarat chief minister as chairman of BJP's election campaign committee for the next Lok Sabha elections did not augur well for the health of the country's "secular and democratic polity."
