Will support any non-BJP govt in Bihar to help strengthen secular forces: Congress

The Congress on August 9 said it will support any non-BJP government in Bihar to help strengthen secular forces amid hectic political activity in the State where Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has ended JD(U)'s alliance with the BJP.

Sources said the Congress, which has 19 legislators in the Bihar Assembly, will go by what the RJD decides and its presence will help strengthen the coalition.

They added that like in Maharashtra where the Congress helped stitch together the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government by supporting the Shiv Sena which was ideologically different from it, it could align with Kumar who has remained with them in the past.
