PATNA: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar didn’t attend the swearing-in ceremony of President Droupadi Murmu in the national capital on Monday. It was the second invite by BJP’s top brass in the last four days that Nitish preferred to stay away from, leading to speculations that is not all well between the JD(U) and the BJP, the two leading allies of NDA in Bihar?
Nitish also skipped a farewell dinner for outgoing President Ram Nath Kovind, hosted by PM Narendra Modi, on July 22 in Delhi, on the plea that he had to participate in the oath-taking function of seven newly elected members of the Bihar Legislative Council in the state capital here. Nitish attended the legislative council function on that day.
