Nitish, Lalu reject claims about rift in coalition
After Congress questioned JD(U) over an invitation to BJP leaders for the Makar Sankranti feast, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav asserted that everything is fine in the coalition. "I have applied chandan (tilak) with curd on Kumar's forehead…now everything will be shubh (good). There is no fissure in the alliance," said Lalu.
