The JD(U), headed by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on Sunday announced candidates for all the 16 Lok Sabha seats it is contesting in the state, dropping two sitting MPs and fielding two turncoats.

Rabri Devi today asserted that defection of MLAs belonging to her RJD and ally Congress should "worry" incumbent Nitish Kumar, the JD(U) president who recently tied up with BJP, and he should "see the writing on the wall".
