Patna, August 09, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Chief Minister of the Indian state of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, has formally announced that the alliance between Janata Dal (United) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has ended.
Nitish Kumar cited several conspiratorial steps by the BJP to dethrone his government from power as the reason for taking the extreme step, Indian media reported.
Both the ruling JD(U), BJP and the Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) held separate meetings of their legislators in Patna, today (Tuesday).
Kumar had convened the meeting following the exit of party’s former national president RCP Singh after the JD (U) sent a notice seeking explanation on the charges of corruption levelled against him.
The reason for Singh’s exit from the Cabinet and later from the JD (U) is seen as his growing proximity to the BJP after his party denied him a renomination to the Rajya Sabha which made his continuation in the Union Council of Ministers untenable.
