Congress's Rahul Gandhi, the man allegedly responsible for pushing Nitish Kumar towards the BJP, today took a jab at the Bihar Chief Minister over his defection from the Opposition camp. "We don't require Nitish Kumar, a little pressure is exerted and he makes a U-turn," Mr Gandhi -- who is leading the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra - said at a public meeting in Bihar today. Mr Kumar joined hands with the BJP over the weekend, apparently furious over a comment of Rahul Gandhi at a meeting of the Opposition on January 13.
