Patna (Bihar) [India], January 26 (ANI): Amid signs of deep fissures appearing between JD(U) and its partners in Bihar, Union Food Processing Industries Minister and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) Chief Pashupati Kumar Paras on Friday asked people to wait for 1-2 days.
Speaking to the reporters here, Pashupati Paras said that with time the situation will get clearer in the state.
"Wait for 1-2 days... I have repeatedly said that time is more powerful than individual...Time will tell," Pashupati Kumar Paras said.
The reports of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar severing his ties with the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) and reuniting with the BJP has triggered concerns about the stability of the 17-month-old, six-party Grand Alliance government.
Several NDA leaders including former Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi have indicated a split in the alliance between JD(U)-RJD.
Nitish's shift would be a severe blow to the ruling Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) in Bihar as well as the Opposition INDIA bloc at the national level that is formed to take on the BJP-led Centre.
Notably, Nitish Kumar, after parting ways with the BJP in 2022, took on the initiative of uniting all opposition forces to jointly take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling party in the national election.
He hosted the first meeting of opposition parties in Patna, and it was widely believed that he would eventually be the coalition's Convenor. (ANI)
