No Realignment With Nitish Kumar, "His Time Is Up": Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi Yadav noted that the BJP, which now does not have a majority in Lok Sabha, was "dependent" on JD(U) to hold on to power.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday dismissed speculations of a realignment with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, claiming that the time was up for the "tired" JD(U) president.

Mr Yadav lost his job as the deputy chief minister in January when Mr Kumar abruptly returned to the BJP-led NDA.

Talking to reporters in Banka district, the RJD leader challenged him to use his clout with the Centre to get a caste census done besides securing special status for the state and a relief package for areas devastated by recent floods.
