Nitish Kumar ‘reaches out’ to Congress, RJD and JD(U) rally MLAs | Political Pulse News,The Indian Express

Bihar friction widens, day after JD(U) alleged plots against Nitish

Amid clear signs of turbulence in the BJP-JD(U) tie-up, the RJD and JD(U) Monday called for separate meetings of their MLAs in Patna. The Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), a constituent of the NDA, is also holding a meeting of its MLAs.

The calls for the meetings followed a phone call Chief Minister Nitish Kumar reportedly had with Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

On Sunday, the JD(U) had hinted at a BJP hand in “conspiracies” against the Nitish government, and said that nothing was final on a tie-up between the two for future elections. Nitish also skipped a meeting of the NITI Aayog Governing Council held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

JD(U) sources said all its 45 legislators would meet on Tuesday at the CM’s residence. The RJD has also directed all its 79 MLAs to be in Patna by Monday night, to be able to attend Tuesday’s meeting called by Tejashwi Yadav.

The JD(U) and RJD have given signs of cosying up. There have been no attacks on the other by either side, and in a rare show of camaraderie, Nitish had seen Tejashwi, Leader of the Opposition, out till the CM’s House gates, after an Iftaar party.
