All is not well between the Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United) and the BJP. According to sources, the JD(U)-BJP alliance in Bihar is on the verge of falling apart. As most JD(U) MLAs are averse to mid-term elections, the party is eyeing tie-ups with the RJD, Congress and the Left Front to retain its hold on power in the state, sources added.

Meanwhile in Delhi, BJP has slammed AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, after the minister backed Mohsin Ahmed, a suspected member of the terror group ISIS. Ahmed was earlier arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for his role in collecting funds for ISIS from sympathisers in India as well as abroad.
