BJP Ally Nitish Kumar's 'Message' As He Attends Tejashwi Yadav's Iftar

The mood at the Iftar party was upbeat for another reason - RJD patriarch Lalu Yadav got bail in a fodder scam case
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar attended an Iftar party today hosted by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, days after the RJD's victory in the Bochahan bypoll, which indicated Mr Yadav organised the party as a show of strength, considering the attendance.
Others who came to the RJD leader's Patna home for the Iftar party include BJP leaders Awadhesh Narayan Singh and Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, Lok Janshakti Party's Chirag Paswan, Tejashwi Yadav's siblings Tej Pratap Yadav and Misa Bharti, and his mother Rabri Devi.
Nitish Kumar attended the Iftar party at Tejashwi Yadav's home after a gap of five years; the last was in 2017 when the Janata Dal (United) chief dumped Bihar's Grand Alliance and rebooted a partnership with the BJP. The ties between Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav's family then had hit rock bottom.
Today, the Bihar Chief Minister walked down to Rabri Devi's home, some 50 metres away, to attend the party.
