Patna: The political buzz in Bihar intensified on Sunday as chief minister Nitish Kumar, on his return to Patna after staying away from the state capital for several days, immediately cancelled all important meetings, including his weekly Lok Samvad programme, that were scheduled for Monday.
The political heat is also likely to rise further in Patna on Monday as RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav has called a meeting of his party legislators to discuss the future course of action.
While the Congress has extended its full support to the RJD, a long studied silence from the Nitish Kumar camp has given rise to murmurs and uncertainty in the Grand Secular Alliance. The RJD leaders are likely to raise this issue during the meeting on Monday.
Mr Kumar has been staying away from Patna, where the political temperature had gone up considerably in the past one week after the CBI raided the property of Lalu Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi and his family members, including his son Tejashwi, who is Bihar’s deputy chief minister.
