Putting an end to speculation, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Monday said his Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and the BJP will contest the next Lok Sabha elections together.
"JD-U
and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) will contest together from all 40 parliamentary seats in Bihar," Nitish Kumar told media persons here.
He ruled out any rift between the two parties, which are partners in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Early
this month, state BJP president C.P. Thakur said his party was preparing to contest from all 40 seats in the state. His remarks drew a strong response from some senior JD-U leaders, who said their party too will contest all 40 seats alone.

After seeing the agitation against nitish in various places in his meeting , now he changed his tone and tells JDU will contst together with BJP. With out BJP, h will loose the election and again the almost dead tiger RLD,will get new breather . After all Nitish is also a human being and he wanted to be next Prime ministrial candidates and because of this all confusion he crated.

BJP should not trust JDU. They must contest all seats. no guarantee that JDU honours any pre poll alliance. If JDU contests even one seat in Gujarat assembly polls , that should be the end of alliance in Bihar.
