BJP chief Amit Shah has invited Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to rejoin the NDA. Nitish could be made the NDA convener and at least two representatives of JD(U) could be inducted in the Union Cabinet, with RCP Singh likely to be one of them.
The JD(U) at its August 19 National Executive Committee meeting is likely to formally join the NDA. An invitation to join the NDA was extended by BJP president Amit Shah when Nitish went to meet him in Delhi on Friday. Under the changes circumstances it is unlikely that Yadav will be invited to this meeting. Shah broke the news on Twitter saying: “I met JD(U) president Nitish Kumar at my residence yesterday. I invited JD (U) to join the NDA.”
