Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday attended the 'shraadh' ceremony of late LJP founder and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan in Patna and met his son Chirag. The gesture of solidarity comes amid constant back and forth of barbs between JD(U) and LJP ahead of the Bihar polls. Chirag Paswan recently quit the NDA alliance in Bihar, of which JD(U) is also a part, citing differences with Nitish Kumar.
