All is not well between JD-U, BJP?

BJP’s absence from Puja event fuels speculations of rift.

At Dussehra event in Patna, no BJP leader shares dais with CM Nitish Kumar

The war of words was seen as a precursor to the aggression with which the BJP might approach the Assembly polls in Bihar next year.

Union minister Giriraj Singh apologised to people in Bihar who are not being able to celebrate Durga Puja due to the deteriorating flood situation.

JD(U) national spokesperson Pavan Verma said that this kind of personalised attack on the Chief Minister are 'unacceptable'.

Stung by Singh's latest salvo, leaders of the JD(U) headed by Kumar came out with a barrage of attacks against Singh and his party.

The RJD had cobbled up an alliance with four political parties with strong EBC, OBC, and minority voter base during the Lok Sabha polls.

Sources said that Kumar will be elected unopposed for the 'second time' to the post of JDU president.

Tejashwi Yadav, son of jailed RJD chief Lalu Yadav and leader of the opposition, has once again been missing in action.

Calling the floods a natural calamity, Kumar said heavy rain and droughts were realities.

A BJP MLA too was of the view that Modi did not care much for the Karnataka victims as much as he did for those flood-hit people in Bihar.
