Will Nitish Kumar do a volte-face again? All eyes on Bihar
All eyes in Bihar were now on the meetings called by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U) and the opposition RJD, of their respective legislators, which have triggered speculations of seismic political developments in the state. However, those appearing to be in the know of things in both parties insisted that notwithstanding hectic political activity that continued till late Monday evening, a dramatic realignment was not on the agenda of the meetings that will commence simultaneously, right across the street from each other.
Yes absolutely (everything is fine in NDA alliance)...Today we are not making any claim but Nitish Kumar has all the qualifications to become PM. RCP Singh's statement is a very objectionable statement and shows his mental bankruptcy: Upendra Kushwaha, JD(U).
BJP is doing politics of finishing its own alliance partners in many states, it tried to break JDU but CM Nitish Kumar took action. Earlier also, they did politics through Chirag Paswan. It's better to take timely action: Mukesh Sahani, Vikassheel Insaan Party. (ANI)
Our party's decision will be taken by the party high command. MLAs have arrived & will stay in Patna at least till August 10. We are already in an alliance with RJD & are yet to speak with CM Nitish Kumar.
