The bypolls are scheduled to be held to one Lok Sabha and two Assembly seats.

"There are some people who are telling different things about the likely results of 2019 polls. But I have an advice for them -- don't harbour false notions... NDA led by BJP will again succeed," Nitish Kumar, who is also President of the JD-U, said.

Nitish also congratulated Jaitley and Prime Minister Narender Modi for the presentation of what he called the "best Budget".

Without naming RJD, Nitish Kumar said that he had not turned his back on any of his govt's agenda but found it difficult to work with people who believed in using power for amassing wealth.

Nitish Kumar’s convoy was attacked in the Nandar village of Buxar district on January 12.

Notably, On January 12 last, the CM Nitish Kumar's convoy was pelted with stones during his tour of Nandan village in Dumraon block as part of his state-wide Vikas Samiksha Yatra.

The Nitish Kumar government has announced forming a state-wide human chain on coming Sunday to express people resolve against social evils like child marriage and dowry.

The 79-year-old Jha died due to various problems including organ failure, cardiac arrest and septic shock in the national capital.

According to news agency ANI, the crowd pelted stone on Nitish Kumar. The CM was, however, rescued safely by his security guards.

Lalu’s son and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that the trial court’s decision will be challenged in the high court.

Singh, who is also the BJP Lok Sabha member from Nawada, said “many people here have remarked that it is after a long time that the Bihar CM and I are sharing stage.

Shivanand Tiwary accused Nitish Kumar of giving up his commitment to secularism in order to cosy up to Narendra Modi with whom he had shared cold vibes in the past.

Nitish Kumar took the drastic step of severing ties with the "Mahagathbandhan" four years after he had snapped his 17-year-old association with the BJP.

The Janata Dal (United) president also took a dig at the Congress, saying that while the party was aiming to defeat the BJP in Gujarat, it “ended up losing even in Himachal Pradesh”, where it was in power.

Tejashwi Yadav claimed that the "Mahagathbandhan" comprising RJD, JD(U) and Congress had accomplished in 18 months what the NDA will not be able to achieve in rest three years of the present Assembly term.

Nitish Kumar is scheduled to review the development of eight districts during the first phase of his "yatra" over the next five days. His tour began today from Patilar village in Bagaha, a remote sub-division of West Champaran district.

Nitish Kumar recalled that while addressing a meeting in Patna ahead of assembly elections in Bihar, some women had requested him for a ban on liquor in the state.

Arun Kumar Shrivastav, a former JD(U) general secretary, said they will file an application with EC in a day or two and hold a convention after the results of Gujarat and Himachal polls.

The sarcastic tweet comes on the heels of a ruckus created by the RJD on the final day of the Winter Session of the state Assembly today.

The Janata Dal-United (JD-U) led by Veerendra Kumar in Kerala is an ally of the Congress-led United Democratic Front and was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Kerala last year.
