"We strengthen our own party," says Shahnawaz Hussain
According to sources, the RJD is likely to extend support to Nitish Kumar and there will be no differences on allotment of portfolios."If the BJP attempts to create instability or tries to push for President's Rule, we'll give them a befitting reply," RJD sources told ANI.
"We strengthen our own party, we don't weaken any other party. The party leadership will give an official statement in Patna. We've worked honestly for the business and employment of the people of Bihar. The party will make a comment, I won't," Bihar minister and BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain told ANI.

"It's not a good sign for Bihar's development," says Pashupati Paras
"Earlier also an experiment was done between RJD & JDU but they can't stay together for long. Again such an alliance is coming, it's not a good sign for Bihar's development. We have decided that our party will remain a part of NDA," Union minister and RLJP president Pashupati Paras told ANI.
Sources noted that many JD(U) MLAs and MLCs told CM Nitish Kumar in the meeting that their present alliance is weakening them since 2020. Without naming Chirag Paswan, they noted he was one such example, and if 'they're not alert now, it won't be good for the party, ANI reported citing sources.
