Nitish Kumar in touch with BJP again? Party leader's remark sparks rumour

India Today  

Is Nitish Kumar once again contemplating a U-turn and going back to the BJP? “Inference is being drawn that I am in touch with the BJP after I met BJP leaders, but bigger the leader in our party is more in touch with BJP leaders,” Kushwaha said, setting the rumour mills to running overtime. It is being speculated whether Upendra Kushwaha was hinting that Nitish Kumar is in touch with the BJP. With the kind of war of words between the leaders of the JD and its current ally, the Rashtriya Janta Dal, over RJD leaders’ comments on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Ram Charitra Manas, there seems to be a growing rift between the two partners. Nitish Kumar, when asked about Kushwaha’s possibility of joining the BJP, said he came in and out of the party around three times.
