JD(U) leader calls BJP's Samrat Choudhary 'desperate soul' over Bihar CM statement 

Janata Dal (United) leader Suheli Mehta called BJP's Samrat Choudhary a "desperate soul" after he alleged that Nitish Kumar was accepted as the chief minister of Bihar only as a "coalition compulsion".

The war of words between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal (United) over the post of the chief minister in Bihar has escalated. JD(U) leader Suheli Mehta took to social media to call Bihar minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary a "vyakul atma" (desperate soul). This comes a couple of days after Samrat Choudhary stated that JD(U)'s Nitish Kumar was the chief minister of Bihar despite BJP having 74 seats in the current alliance due to "coalition compulsions". He had also stated that running a coalition government in Bihar is a challenge due to different parties having different ideologies.
