PTI Photo(PTI7_3_2017_000019B)RJD leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav, in a series of tweets, accused Nitish Kumar and the JD(U) of indulging in ‘low level vindictive & opportunistic politics.” This, after Kumar walked out of the Grand Alliance, resigned from office and within hours took oath as the chief minister in the company of the BJP, his former ally. He said that he had ‘delivered manifolds’ than what was expected of him as deputy chief minister but that his performance ‘perturbed’ the JD(U) and the BJP. Earlier Thursday, Kumar was sworn in as the chief minister for the second time in two years, this time with the BJP.
