A vocal section of the state BJP has often targeted its ally and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has at times taken a stand opposite to that of the saffron party on a host of issues, including the nullification of the Article 370 and the citizenship bill, underlining the unease in their alliance. Poonia, a seasoned organization man, has been appointed the chief of the Rajasthan BJP after the death of state party chief Madan Lal Saini recently.
