Cracks in alliance? Senior JD (U) leader says plot to weaken Nitish

Kushwaha said, "RJD is claiming that it had struck a deal with JD(U) before joining the grand alliance. JD(U) national president and MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh should convene a meeting of the party's national executive and should disclose what deal some party leaders had struck with RJD.

Was there any clause in the deal under which Nitish has to be removed from the post of CM?"
