As a political storm brews in Bihar over speculation that Nitish Kumar may be joining hands with the BJP, parties went into a huddle on Saturday to take stock of the situation. At a meeting of the RJD, the party empowered Lalu Yadav to take a call on whatever happens in state politics.
According to ANI, Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav said Nitish Kumar has always been respected by the RJD. “Many things are not under his (Nitish Kumar’s) control,” Tejashwi said. That the game is not yet over in Bihar was the consensus in the meeting, according to reports. RJD MLAs have been asked to remain in Patna and not to switch off their phones.
