A coordination committee, which the JD(U) kept pressing for while in the BJP-led NDA, may be set up to ensure smooth functioning of the “Mahagathbandhan” (Grand Alliance) that now rules Bihar upon the entry of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
There were indications to this effect on Friday evening when MLAs of the CPI(ML), the fourth largest constituent of the Grand Alliance, called on the Chief Minister, the JD(U)’s de facto leader, at his residence.
“The Chief Minister was strongly in favour of a coordination committee and we felt the same. No ally is likely to have any objection. It may, therefore, come up in due course,” CPI(ML) MLA Sandeep Saurav told PTI.
