New Delhi: BJP's Parliamentary Board is likely to meet on Monday to analyse the poll results in Bihar where the JD(U)-RJD combine has outshone the party-led NDA.
According to sources, the board is likely to examine all the aspects and factors leading to the party's below par performance against the Nitish Kumar-led grand alliance. Party leader and Union Minister Ram Kripal Yadav said it was for the top brass to analyse and introspect the reasons behind these results.
