A significant development is that Nitish Kumar, chief of Janata Dal(United) (JDU), hinted at the support to be given by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, Chandrababu Naidu for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s re-election for the third time.
It comes after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clinched 240 seats in Lok Sabha but fell short of a majority. BJP would now have to depend on its alliances to form a government.
On arrival in Delhi for the NDA meeting, Nitish Kumar said they would form a government. These sentiments were echoed by JDU leader KC Tyagi’, who indicated that the BJP would fully back Nitish Kumar as far as JDU leadership is concerned.
