PATNA: With NDA and INDIA bloc scheduling separate meetings of alliance partners in Delhi on Wednesday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his arch rival RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav left for the national capital on the same flight from Patna airport, sources said.
Kumar, whose NDA-allied JD (U) has won 12 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, has emerged as a key player in government formation as the BJP has failed to secure a majority in the Lok Sabha on its own, while the INDIA bloc is also sending feelers to him.
Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD, an INDIA bloc partner, has secured four Lok Sabha seats.
