Rift in JD (U)? Sharad Yadav meets Rahul Gandhi; criticises Modi govt's policies on Twitter

Senior Janata Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav, who remained unavailable for comment on Wednesday following Nitish Kumar’s decision to snap ties with the Mahagathbandhan, reportedly met Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi in the national capital on Thursday.

Yadav's meeting with the Congress leader comes amid reports that the JD(U) leader was unhappy with Nitish Kumar breaking ties with the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Congress and forming the government in alliance with the BJP.

As per reports in ANI, JDU leader Arun Kumar reportedly said that Yadav was concerned with Nitish’s decision. “He will talk to senior leaders of all national parties,” Kumar said.

Yadav also criticised the BJP-led Central government today morning, giving enough hint that he was unhappy with the JD(U)-BJP tie-up.

Earlier on Thursday, Nitish Kumar took oath as Bihar Chief Minister at the head of a JD (U)-BJP government, within hours of dumping the grand alliance.

This is the JD (U) president's second innings in the last two years. He snapped ties late on Wednesday with Grand Alliance partners Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress over corruption charges against RJD leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
