Over a decade after a cancelled dinner invitation by Nitish Kumar for BJP leaders broke a long-running alliance at that time, the Bihar Chief Minister on Thursday hosted the saffron party's chief Amit Shah for breakfast as well as dinner here in what is being seen as an attempt to dispel rumblings about differences in a revived alliance.

After breakfast, seen by political observers as an ice breaker amid talks in some corners about growing differences over seat sharing for Lok Sabha polls next year, Kumar and Shah met again over dinner tonight signalling all was well in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Photo: PTI
