Nitish Kumar was responsible for building Brand Bihar and we cannot allow it to be destroyed,” said a senior leader of JDU. Senior leaders of JDU indicated that there can be a meeting between Kumar and Congress leaders in the coming days. Interestingly, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bihar said on Sunday that it does not favour snap polls in the state. Each one of them need this alliance as much as the other but it is the RJD which is more desperate to remain in power and not Nitish Kumar.
