The state executive meet of the Janata Dal United will be held in Patna today. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar along with JD(U) state president Bashishtha Narayan Singh will participate in the day-long meet. The members of the state executive party bearers and all district presidents will also attend the meet. It is evident that there is growing friction between Nitish Kumar and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav. What is significant is that in this meeting, Nitish Kumar is likely to present a blueprint of his party ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
