Hence, a public attack by his top aide yesterday, accusing the BJP "of working to break our party."
 

Here are the LIVE updates on Nitish Kumar vs the BJP:

Alliance With BJP On Downward Spiral, Says Nitish Kumar's Party

Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United has attacked the BJP again as the crisis between the ruling allies of Bihar approaches, questioning how the party can decide who from the JD(U) can join Union cabinet.

JD(U) state president Rajiv Ranjan Singh aka Lalan Singh, whose comments yesterday indicated a possible crisis, today said it is "clear what they (the BJP) are up to".

Talking to reporters today, he said the BJP had said, "We agree only to your name".

"Is it the BJP who decides who from JD(U) will become the minister? If the BJP is deciding all that, then it is understood what they are up to. What we said has turned out to be correct... they notified the Chief Minister and he said when it has been decided, then you go ahead and become the minister".
