Patna: The proposed grand alliance between JD(U), RJD and Congress in Bihar aimed at the 2015 Assembly polls met with rough weather on Thursday over the question of who would head the alliance as the ruling JD(U) insisted that it had to be former chief minister and party stalwart Nitish Kumar.
A day after Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said, in keeping with JD(U)’s avowed stand, that Mr Kumar would succeed him if the alliance wins a majority in 2015, the RJD and the Congress reacted sharply. But JD(U) leaders strongly supported Mr Manjhi’s statement and said only Mr Kumar was capable of becoming the alliance leader and Bihar’s next CM.
The Opposition BJP promptly dubbed such contrasting views as cracks in the emerging “secular alliance”.
