Patna, 10/10: Even as the notification was issued on Friday for the first phase of elections to 121 seats out of the 243 in the Bihar Assembly, Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav got a shot in the arm when three influential JD(U) leaders deserted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s camp.
Former JD(U) MP from Purnia Santosh Kushwaha, who met Lalu Prasad before joining the RJD, said, “The JD(U) under Nitish Kumar is no longer the same as it used to be. It has become directionless and rudderless.”
