NEW DELHI: As the BJP has failed to get the majority on its own in Lok Sabha elections, all eyes are on its alliance partners JD(U) and TDP, key factors in keeping the NDA government afloat comfortably.
However, eyebrows were raised when Bihar chief minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar and his rival and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav decided to reach Delhi on the same charter aircraft from Patna airport for their respective meetings.
While Nitish was coming to Delhi for the key NDA meet, Tejashwi was heading for the capital for the INDI Alliance meet.
Interestingly, visuals show a smiling Tejashwi sitting right behind Nitish Kumar raising speculations in the political circles.
Nitish Kumar's NDA-allied JD (U) has won 12 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar while Tejashwi Yadav's RJD, an INDIA bloc partner, has secured four LS seats.
Other NDA partners in Bihar -- Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) have won five and one seats each respectively.
