George Fernandes is angry. Angry at being given the short shrift by the JD(U), a party he helped found. Angry at the betrayal of party leaders Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav who wrote him off saying he's unfit to contest.

You have won nine Lok Sabha elections, yet you were denied a ticket by the JD (U). Did you feel betrayed?
I have given everything to Nitish Kumar. But that man has always tried to throw me out of the party. Nitish and Sharad (Yadav) both treated me very casually. I am hurt. They said I can't contest as I am unfit. I am fighting fit.

You called Nitish Kumar an autocrat.
I never said that. The media misquoted me. Nitish has hurt me a lot, but I have forgiven him. I forgive everyone.
