The Congress has refuted JD(U) leader KC Tyagi's claim that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was offered the prime ministerial post by the INDIA bloc after the Lok Sabha election results were announced.

Rabri Devi today asserted that defection of MLAs belonging to her RJD and ally Congress should "worry" incumbent Nitish Kumar, the JD(U) president who recently tied up with BJP, and he should "see the writing on the wall".

With the JD(U)s re-entry, the NDA's seat tally is back to around 350 seats, close to the 2019 tally of 353. The ruling alliance now needs just 50 more seats to cross the magical mark of 400.

The Congress on Saturday claimed that a less than "respectable" share of Lok Sabha seats in Bihar would affect not just the party, but the entire ruling Mahagathbandhan', including Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U).

He also chided the Congress for "making a mere mention of caste census and OBCs and not following these up with Bihar's demand.

Many opposition parties, including the Congress and JD(U), are trying to forge unity ahead of next year's Lok Sabha polls.

Members of the ruling Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, barring Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U), on Friday staged a march inside the Vidhan Sabha premises in protest against the conviction of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case.

As Nitish Kumar dumped his ally BJP to form a new government with Mahagathbandhan including RJD in Bihar, former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday questioned the change of stance by the JD(U) leader.
