Patna, Dec 10 : Speculation mounted over the possibility of a new political equation in Bihar as Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) president Upendra Kushwaha held a secret meeting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
According to sources, the meeting was held on December 2.
Experts believe that Kushwaha may add to Nitish’s political heft.
At present, BJP has 74 seats and has the upper hand despite Nitish Kumar being the CM. On the other hand, JD-U is politically weak in the current NDA government as it has just 43 seats.
Sources said that Nitish might be establishing a close proximity with his old partners to strengthen his position in Bihar. It is a similar situation where LJP was against JDU and favouring BJP during Assembly elections.
Kushwaha, however, said that meeting with CM is not a “crime”. He has old friendship with him.
