Kumar claimed that Kishor was working for the BJP. The chief minister was responding to Kishor's claim that he spurned a recent request by by Kumar to lead the JD(U).
Justifying its split with BJP, JD(U) has claimed that PM Modi inducted then party leader R.C.P. Singh into Union cabinet without Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's consent.
Home minister Amit Shah interacted with MPs & MLAs while in Patna Sunday for meet of BJP's frontal organisations. Party and ally JD(U) have been airing differences on host of issues.
17 bulldozers & 2,000 cops deployed to demolish 75 allegedly illegal houses in Patna's Rajiv Nagar Sunday. BJP leaders link action to conflicts between their party & JD(U).

New infra projects involve not just repair work of runways and creation of additional taxi ways to enable better tempo of operations, but also storage of spare parts and munitions.
