A National Executive Committee meeting of JD (U) has been called in the official residence of its national president and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, where the party is formally expected to accept the invitation to join BJP-led NDA.
After Nitish made the new government in Bihar with the support of the BJP, JD-U leader Sharad Yadav and Rajya Sabha MP Ali Anwar rebelled. However, the Chief Minister of Bihar is ready to emerge as the party's undisputed leader in this meeting.
JD-U Secretary-General and spokesman K.C. Tyagi said, "The National Executive Committee will be informed that why the decision to separate from RJD was allocated with BJP." It is clear from both meetings that the line of battle within JD (U) is drawn and the party is going for a vertical division. However, JD (U) principal secretary general K. T. Tyagi, however, said that there is no division and Yadav has left "voluntarily".
