Is RJD’s olive branch to Nitish bid to drive a wedge within the NDA?

RJD’s bid to woo Nitish Kumar by urging him to quit NDA over UCC could test Bihar’s political arithmetic. With JD(U) holding 85 seats and RJD at 25, the Mahagatbandhan maths remains tight. Will BJP’s Amit Shah allow a crack in the alliance?

RJD is well aware that a section of the JD (U) is not comfortable playing second fiddle to the BJP and wants elevation of Nitish’s son Nishant Kumar for the top post.
