Bihar: Taking a snipe at the ongoing-drama in the state politics, Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday indirectly hit out at Nitish Kumar via a Tweet. Akhilesh’e tweet hinted at telling Nitish Kumar that “in spite of refraining from falling  in love with BJP, he eventually did”, was extracted from famous Bollywood song ‘na na karte pyar tumhe se kar baithe’.

ना ना करते, प्यार तुम्हीं से कर बैठे करना था इंकार मगर इक़रार तुम्हीं से कर बैठे Bihar Today

The fresh Twist in Bihar politics has come as a shocker for everyone, as within less than 24 hours of resigning from the post of Bihar Chief Minister, Kumar is all set to take oath at 10am on Thursday as a head of the government that would include Bharatiya Janta Party and its allies. Kumar met Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi late on Wednesday with NDA leaders and staked claim to form a new government with support of 132 MLAs. BJP has extended a support of 132 MLAs to Nitish.Speaking on the same, former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said, “ trust vote should take place at the earliest.”. Meanwhile, RJD, which had sought time to meet Governor to stake claim to form government and was asked to meet him at 11 a.m., questioned the rationale of asking Nitish Kumar to take oath at 10 a.m. "Governor gave us time of 11 a.m. and now suddenly has asked NDA for oath ceremony at 10 a.m. Why so much hurry & rush Mr. Honest & Moral?" Tejashwi Yadav tweeted. He said the Governor had initially asked Nitish Kumar to take oath at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
