Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U) on January 26 asserted that the party was "firmly with INDIA coalition" but wanted the Congress to do "introspection" with regard to alliance partners and sharing of seats.
State JD(U) president Umesh Singh Kushwaha made the statement, refuting rumours that his party, headed by the Chief Minister, was thinking of a return to the BJP-led NDA.
“All is well in Bihar’s ruling Mahagathbandhan and the media speculations are driven by some agenda,” Mr. Kushwaha told reporters.
