JD(U) demands setting up of NDA coordination committee to iron out differences within alliance

The Janata Dal (United) has demanded the formation of an NDA coordination committee to iron out differences within the National Democratic Alliance.

Earlier this week, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar led a delegation of leaders from the state to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of conducting a caste census. The delegation cut across party lines. However, within the BJP itself, there are dissenting voices on this contentious issue. Against this backdrop, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) has demanded the formation of an NDA coordination committee, both at the central and state level, to iron out differences within the National Democratic Alliance. The NDA includes BJP and JD(U) along with several other political parties.
