A Janata Dal United MLA has claimed that his leader Nitish Kumar will step down as chief minister in six months and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav will form the government in Bihar.
Gopalpur JDU legislator Narendra Kumar Niraj alias Gopal Mandal’s comments have come at a time there is friction in the NDA, and the JDU is feeling uncomfortable with a more assertive BJP that has become the senior partner for the first time in the alliance.
Mandal made the comments during a telephone conversation with Bihpur BJP legislator Kumar Shailendra, an audio clip of which has been leaked and shared widely on social media, and during a media conference later.
Those items could be remains of the Kushan, Maurya and the Gupta era.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday said that the course of the Kosi river will be diverted to protect an area in the state’s Bhagalpur district, which could be a 2,500-year-old archaeological site.
Mr. Kumar visited Guwaridih village in Bihpur block, from where ancient terracotta objects such as utensils and ornaments, various tools, triangular bricks, copper coins, and fossils were recovered from beneath the earth.
Those items could be remains of the Kushan, Maurya and the Gupta era.
Bihar Heritage Development Society’s Executive Director Dr Vijay Kumar Choudhary gave details of the items displayed there to the Chief Minister.
