"We are not accepting the JD-U joining the NDA and our relations with Nitish Kumar has ended. It's shocking that Nitish Kumar has joined the NDA. We all thought that he will fight the fascist tendencies but he has now become a part of it."
Veerendra Kumar said he expected JD-U senior leader Sharad Yadav and its MLAs in Bihar not to accept Nitish Kumar's decision. "I call upon Sharad Yadav and JD-U MLAs to say that we won't accept it."
He said he would go back to Kerala after the Vice Presidential election on August 5 and hold a state council to take a decision on future action.
Nitish Kumar broke ties with the the RJD on Wednesday. A two-member Bihar cabinet of Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister and BJP's Sushil Modi as his deputy was sworn in on Thursday morning.
