The tension between the two parties got breakpoint over Nitish Kumar’s suspicions that Union Minister Amit Shah is working relentlessly to break the Janata Dal (United). To this end, Nitish Kumar accuses RCP Singh, a former leader from his own party, for assisting as Amit Shah’s proxy. RCP Singh quit the JDU on the weekend after his party impeached him of deep corruption. “Will Amit Shah decide our party’s matters?” told Rajeev Ranjan Singh aka Lalan Singh, who is the president of the JDU.

The BJP’s Bihar branch have announced for a press conference today to address the issue of split up for a second time by Nitish Kumar. “We have always observed coalition dharma,” Union Minister Giriraj Singh told NDTV in a conversation.
