Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Samajwadi Party boss Akhilesh Yadav will both skip Wednesday's INDIA bloc meeting, sources told NDTV this morning. The Janata Dal (United) leader and Mr Yadav, a former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, become the second and third high-profile leaders to skip the meet called by the Congress, underlining the growing chasm in the group meant to unite the opposition - to defeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP - ahead of this month's five state polls and next year's Lok Sabha election.
