Nitish in touch with BJP and can return to NDA, says Manjhi

Former Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi claimed Nitish Kumar was in touch with BJP leadership and could return to the NDA fold. Nitish objected to a proposal to make Tejashwi Yadav the CM, resulting in a change of guard in JD(U). Nitish now has assurance of support from BJP if JD(U) legislators desert the party. JD(U) accused Manjhi of spreading the rumors under BJP pressure. Nitish’s possible move has generated speculation in Bihar’s political circles.
