Nitish Kumar Lalu Yadav Split

Ashok Choudhary, the Bihar Congress president who last week nudged the party to quickly take a call on his continuation, has been relieved from the party post, the Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi announced on Tuesday evening.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has dismissed allegations that he is attempting to poach legislators from former ally Congress, saying running the state keeps him too busy to indulge in such conspiracy

The Janata Dal-United led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday virtually put rebel leader Sharad Yadav on notice, hinting at action against him if he attends the RJD rally on August 27.

Long-standing "frenemies" Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav have fallen out once again. Socialists by nature are congenital party-breakers or "splittists" as European Communists of the 1930s used to call them. The list of "socialist" parties that have been formed in India after Independence will surely run into several pages.

In Siwan, 162 km from Bihar capital Patna and once the fief of Mohd Shahabuddin, gangster and former lawmaker from Lalu Yadav's RJD, a frail, 70-year-old man called Chanda Babu or Chandrakeshwar Prasad has welcomed Chief Minister Kumar's decision to partner with the BJP again in the state. It has rekindled his hope for justice, he says.

Hours after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar comfortably sailed through the floor test with 131 legislators supporting him in the 243-member Bihar Assembly, Lalu Yadav's son and till recently Mr Kumar's deputy, Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on his former boss whose sudden resignation on Wednesday drove his party out of power.

NDTV's Exit Poll shows that Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's decision to sever ties with the BJP over Narendra Modi's elevation may have backfired spectacularly.

Since his break up with the BJP six weeks ago, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has repeatedly blamed his former political partner for trying to undermine his government. His Janata Dal United or JDU used to co-govern Bihar with the BJP. The split was caused by the BJP's decision to place Narendra Modi in charge of its election campaign.
