Nitish Kumar deployed half his cabinet and all his political aides in this one assembly seat in east Bihar that votes next week.

The gloves are off as Sharad Yadav of the Janata Dal (United) began a three-day yatra or tour of Bihar with his sharpest attack yet on party boss Nitish Kumar, designed to provoke the Chief Minister into taking action against him.

A patch-up between Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his senior colleague Sharad Yadav is seen as a remote possibility now by many in the Janata Dal United, the party they have run together for years.
