Nitish meets Bihar Guv to apprise him of split with BJP

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday met Governor Phagu Chauhan, after a meeting of his JD(U), where a decision was taken to quit the BJP-led NDA.

Kumar emerged from his residence in a cavalcade and greeted a large number of party workers, who had been waiting outside to catch a glimpse of their leader.

Workers of opposition RJD, which appears tipped to be a part of the new government, joined their counterparts in the JD(U) in raising the slogan ''Nitish Kumar zindabad”.

Kumar is expected to tender his resignation and stake claim to form a fresh government, armed with the support of the entire opposition.
