Senior Janata Dal United leader Sharad Yadav hasn't said a word in public about Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's stunning move to short-circuit the grand alliance and join hands with the BJP. There has been speculation that the 70-year-old leader who co-founded the party was upset but he has maintained a stone cold silence. Lalu Yadav, 69, confirmed to NDTV exactly where the veteran JDU leader stood on Nitish Kumar's move: His side. "Yes, he (Sharad Yadav) called me," said Lalu Yadav in an interview to NDTV.
