Will support whoever backs special status for Bihar: Nitish Kumar
With the UPA government reduced to a minority after Mamata Banerjee's withdrawal, political parties are seizing the opportunity to enumerate the conditions for their support. "Whoever supports special status for Bihar, we will support them at the centre," said Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He said that Bihar, which has 40 Lok Sabha seats, will play a lead role in deciding who comes to power next. Currently, his Janta Dal (United ) has 22 Lok Sabha MPs and governs Bihar in partnership with the BJP.
