Nitish Kumar in Delhi: Dinner with PM, meeting with Rahul

TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is in Delhi to attend a dinner hosted by PM Narendra Modi for outgoing President Pranab Mukherjee, will meet Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today.

The conversation between Kumar and Rahul Gandhi comes at a time their coalition in Bihar, the Mahagatbandhan, is in serious trouble amid corruption charges against ally Lalu Yadav and his family, including son Tejashwi who is Deputy chief minister.

Nitish Kumar, who will attend PM Modi’s dinner as the president of his party Janata Dal-United, had earlier confirmed that he will attend President-elect Ram Nath Kovind’s oath ceremony on Tuesday in a separate trip to the capital and will also pack in a long overdue meeting with Rahul Gandhi.
