Winter Session of Bihar Assembly set to be stormy
Meanwhile, the ruling NDA coalition, buoyed by their recent victory in all four seats during the Assembly bye-elections, is enthusiastic about defending their position.
Putting another full stop to the ongoing rift between Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and party leader Upendra Kushwaha, the latter on Friday said that he would not leave the party.
Addressing a press conference at his residence in Bihar’s Patna, Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader said, “Even if Nitish Kumar asks me to leave JD-U, I won’t. I have taken responsibility and will fight to save this party. He added that he is disheartened with the current situation of the party.

The remarks from the National Parliamentary Board Chief, JD-U, Upendra Kushwaha came after Bihar CM Nitish asked him to quit the party. Nitish Kumar’s statements came in the wake of ongoing speculations of Kushwaha’s proximities with the BJP airing in the State.

“Well said, Bhai Saheb….! If the younger brothers keep leaving the house like this at the advice of the elder brothers, then all elder brothers will grab the entire property of Baap-Dada (ancestors) by throwing away the younger brothers.
How can I go out (of the party) while leaving behind my share in entire properties…?” Upendra Kushwaha tweeted in Hindi on Wednesday.
