Nitish Kumar to skip Opposition meet on vice-presidential polls tomorrow

JDU chief Nitish Kumar will not be attending the Opposition's meet scheduled to be held in Delhi on Tuesday. Earlier on Sunday, citing ill health as the reason, Nitish Kumar had also cancelled his weekly Lok Samvad program.

Nitish Kumar's decision to skip the meet has gives another jolt to efforts to mend Opposition unity as the non-NDA parties will be meeting to discuss the vice-presidential nominee and Opposition strategy for the Monsoon Session.

Earlier, Nitish's Janata Dal (United) didn't take part in the meeting of 17 Opposition parties that announced that former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar would be their presidential nominee.

The Bihar CM has called all his party leaders at national and state level for a meeting in Patna raising many questions as far mahaghatbandhan in Bihar is concerned.
