Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal United President Nitish Kumar may join NDA. According to the reports, Nitish Kumar may announce his party Janta Dal United to be part of NDA in the proposed meeting of Janta Dal United Working Committee on 19th August in Patna. In return, Nitish Kumar may be given greater responsibility in the NDA.

According to the news of Rediff.com, Nitish Kumar could be made the convener of the National Democratic Alliance. Apart from this, two leaders of Janata Dal United could get a place in the Narendra Modi government.

According to the reports, one of these leaders can be made the minister of cabinet rank, while the other leader can be made the minister of state.

However, Janta Dal United is facing the revolt of two senior party leaders. Rajya Sabha MPs Sharad Yadav and Ali Anwar are against Nitish Kumar's decision. Janata Dal United has suspended Ali Anwar from the party's parliamentary party. While senior party leader Sharad Yadav has been removed from the post of leader of the party's parliamentary party in the Rajya Sabha. In place of him, Janata Dal United has appointed RCP Singh as the new leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha. RCP Singh is considered close to Nitish Kumar.

According to sources, the Nitish faction now wants a farewell from both the leaders from the Rajya Sabha.

At present, Janata Dal United has 10 members in the Rajya Sabha. The differences between Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav came to light when last month Nitish joined hands with the BJP to form a new government in Bihar by terminating relations with Congress and RJD.

During the recent Bihar tour, Sharad Yadav had said that he still believes that he is a part of the alliance with the RJD and the Congress. Janata Dal United is not only a party of Nitish Kumar but he also has a party.

Meanwhile, BJP President Amit Shah on Saturday said that he has invited Nitish Kumar to join the NDA.
