On February 19 and 20, the summit will be held in Patna. In addition to calling for a conference, Upendra Kushwaha issued a letter expressing worry over JDU's fragmentation. In the letter, he also stated that Nitish Kumar is not paying attention to the party's difficulties, which is why a conversation is necessary.
Kushwaha's recent words have reignited the rhetoric among the Bihar government's partnership of the RJD and the Janata Dal (United).
