indiaUpdated: Sep 07, 2019 23:49 ISTJanata Dal (United) president Nitish Kumar on Saturday authorised the party’s Jharkhand unit to take all the decisions related to the Assembly election due to be held by the end of this year. Kumar, also the Bihar chief minister, asked the party workers to take a pledge to address the problems of Jharkhand where his party, an NDA ally, would go it alone in the Assembly poll. Jharkhand is currently ruled by a BJP-led government. “You will take all the decisions (regarding the assembly polls) and all the leaders would throw their weight behind you,” he said at a party meeting at Ranchi.
